How can I help my younger sister tell her crush that she loves him?

Asked by Zachary_Mendes123 (1237points) April 11th, 2017

She’s 12 and her crush is 15 going on 16. I know she’s too young for this guy but she loves him and she asked me for help.

P.S I’m best friends with this guy.

Tell her to write him a letter, or send an email. If she’s too scared to send it, you click the “send” button instead of her, but let her write the text.

I hope this 15 year old guy won’t consider taking advantage of her having a crush on him.

^ Why you suddenly think he’d use her? We don’t even know the guy, come on. He’s just three years older, not thirty.

although, in all honesty, twelve is a bit too young for relationships, imo…

Sadly. Your sister is too young. Not just an opinion. Once your friend turns 18, he’ll have to wait until she’s 18 to legally have any physical relationship with her. Otherwise, he’ll probably end up in jail.

I wouldn’t encourage this AT ALL…

So she’s in like grade 6 and he would be in grade 9 or 10 ready to drive soon and go to highschool parties?
I think your little sister is too young for your friend and I would tell her that.
Having a crush on him is fine, but just tell her the truth.
Now when she’s 18 and he’s 22 maybe you can set them up on a date, but not now.

Once upon a time, I had a crush on an “older” boy. We were both working at a summer camp. He was cute and really nice to me. What he did to address it was brilliant.

I was helping him set up a conference room. He casually said, “You remind me so much of my sister, I feel like you are one as well. I’m going to call you ‘Little Sis’.” It was such a kind way to explain how he felt about me (whether it was true or not). And he did call me Little Sis for the rest of the summer. It might be worth sharing this with your friend.

Like @Pied_Pfeffer I was thinking maybe you should prepare your friend by letting him know about your sister’s crush so he can be kind if she does say something.

Be a big brother, and not a big jerk. Instead of helping your little sister hook up, help her focus more on becomming more grown up first.
I like the above suggestions to talk with her, and also to talk with him.
Please don’t try to put them together. It would not be a good thing.

@Patty_Melt @janbb @Pied_Pfeffer @Cooper_Saldana @MrGrimm888 @Sneki95 @jca I forgot to add that it’s a long distance relationship. The guy lives on Organ and my sis lives in West Virginia. That’s like miles away.

Don’t. Just leave her alone and let her be 12. Are you sure she’s your younger sister?

Half younger sis.
