Of course he cares. Doesn't make it automatically his place to come to conclusions about her relationship though.


Nobody wants to see their sibling hurt. However the OP is trying to "protect" a grown woman by nosing into her relationship, which he will never really fully understand because he's not in it.


He can be nosey and give her advice, but unless she asks for it, he's likely getting in the way of her living her own life and learning her own lessons.

How would you know all this OP?

Why would you care about your sister's sex life?! *shutters*

You really need to get a life and stop stalking your sister.

I don't have a brother so maybe I've got this all wrong, but does a man need to know anything about his sister's sex life?

Part new love, part folly of youth, and probably a touch of too much social media. A lot of people are getting addicted to this stuff, same goes with places like CD. IDK, I agree with you she's tweeting too much, trying to give ol' Cheeto a run for the money I suspect.

On a serious note she's a grown up she's in charge of her life, the best you can do is try to be a good sibling and be there for her. I'd avoid nagging her about it, if she asks your opinion try and be honest, but not lecturing.

He is very active on social media too, but not one mention of my sister (his gf). Just chatting with is friends, liking other girls, and sports.

My sister has been single for a while and is in lala land about a guy paying attention to her. They see each other daily and go out on dates every fri and sat night. But I don't think he's as serious about her and would hate to see her broken hearted.

Does anyone think that her posting relationship advise on Twitter every 30 seconds is not a good thing? I'm thinking that she knows he reads her posts and she is trying to subliminally tell him how to act. Kind of like she is not secure in the relationship. Furthermore, would his blatant non-mentioning of her on social media mean anything?

They are both in their early 20s and she said in 3 months he has not mentioned sex yet.

Just looking for opinions.
Opinion? I would tell her she is nuts and then block her on social media.

She really should settle down with the social media crap (in general, but specifically with the relationship stuff). Sounds like she's moving pretty fast.

He may not be that into her or just may not be really demonstrative... or maybe he's not exclusive.

You can counsel her if you think it will be taken well- only you know what kind of relationship you two have. But it's really all about her and it's her choice how to move forward.

It's nice that you're concerned about her.

Take them out to dinner so you can meet the guy. Be pleasant but neutral.

That's about the most you can do.

That said, there's really not much you can do, but you could try to talk to her about the excessive tweeting, and all the relationship stuff on facebook...telling her as a guy, who knows guys.
Actually it is not his business what his 20+ year old sister does in her life with her relationships.
Being siblings does not give you instant admittance into their personal lives.


OP: Stay out of this situation and do not voice an opinion even if asked. In the end if it all goes bad she will blame you for *your advice and intruding on her personal life*.

Be there for her and encourage her. Sad to say guys with options don't flaunt their relations.

I'm sorry, but I disagree. If they've talked (and apparently they have, since he knows they haven't had sex) than she's brought him into this.


Obviously, he can't MAKE her do anything, but he cares about his sister, so sure, why not offer her some advice?
