Have siblings how would you feel if your sibling or sibling in law dated one of your best friends?

Re: For those of you that!!!

I have two brothers and a few close girl friends.
My one brother just isn't boyfriend material. My other brother is a great guy and would make anyone a fabulous boyfriend. That being said, if I had a single friend that I felt was DESERVING of my brother I would happily set them up with nothing but well wishes.

In your case though, the circumstances are different, since the guy is a loser. I say you can do nothing but warn your friend in an effort to protect her but that's about it. I think that everyone is entitled to try and find some happiness and if dating this guy is what she thinks might make her happy then you have to let her make her own mistakes. If I had a friend that wanted to date my other brother, I'd warn her that he's a bit of a dog, but in the end I'd still give my blessing.

I don't think that it has anything to do with not loving you or being disrespectful. Just a woman trying to go after what most women want: a relationship and a partner. As a friend I think that you should try to be supportive, even if you don't agree with her choices.

It can either spell disaster or be a really nice thing. I dated my best friend's brother as a teenage and I think I could have been the Disaster Poster Child. It was a total mess. I wouldn't want to take a chance with my friendship ever again. But we were teenagers so maybe it can be different as adults.

It actually was always the reverse with me. My brother would date someone and then I would become friends with them and after they broke up we would still hang out.
