Can I date my future step-sister?

Jayne Answers:

Dear in need of advice,

No..I wouldn't do that if I were you.

That's Incest

if you'll be living in the same household soon, even if it is a year away and she's your step-sister, that's basically incestous.

Easy Access

Saturday It's not icky -- just awkward.

I mean, sure youre not blood relatives but when I think about it, it's just icky. Plus you're young; young people who like each other shouldn't have that much access to each other. I mean it can get really wierd if you break up having to live in the same house and all.

Parental Disapproval and Peer Ridiccule

Plus, your parents might be hesitant to leave you two alone together for fear that your hormones will get the best of you, and I believe that they won't be liking this idea at all. Plus, all of your friends at school will make fun of you.

You're Supposed to Hate Her

Jeannie Wrong, Jayne. They can't stop their feelings, they can only control their actions.

You should stop liking your soon-to-be step-sister. Sounds easier than done, but if you nip it in the bud now it won't get the best of you. In fact, you're supposed to hate your step-sister -- don't you watch sitcoms? (just kidding)

Jayne Causing Domestic Complications

On the other hand...

if you don't like your new step-mom to be for some reason, you know that dating her daughter could cause a lot of difficulties between her and your father, so if you really want to make things complicated ...go for it...but just remember that it will also cause difficulty between your dad and you, her mom and her and maybe you'll be wondering if it was all worth it over a crush.

Sneaking Around and Lying

Or...

if you don't feel guilty about being a liar and a sneak you two can try to sneak around behind everyone's back. Eventually if it goes on for too long, someone will find out. But there's always the chance that you two will be discreet enough to hide everything. But hey, that's up to you.

Does She Have a Cute Friend?

Whatever you do, think of the consequences. Me, I'd just leave the drama alone and ask if your step sister has a cute friend. I like to keep it out of the family, if you know what I mean.
