She Went On A First Date With A Guy Who Brought His 11-Year-Old Sister Along And She Feels Weird About Their Closeness
A 22-year-old woman just went out on a first date with a 25-year-old guy named Jason, and she’s left feeling weird about the whole thing because he brought his 11-year-old sister along.
She’s bothered by the closeness this man shares with his sister, and she prefaced the situation by saying that she has never gotten along with any of her own family members.
She no longer even speaks to her family, so she does realize that she doesn’t have the best understanding of family relationships, and that might be influencing how she feels about her date.
Back to Jason; she met him on a dating app and she thought that he seemed delightful. Jason was upfront with her about the fact that his 11-year-old sister does live with him, and she’s pretty sure that Jason is the legal guardian of his sister.
She and Jason decided to take things offline and into real life, and after a bit of a scheduling conflict, their first date fell during the day, and Jason had his sister home from school at that time.
“He mentioned that she was on the spectrum and that she couldn’t be home alone by herself,” she explained.
“If not, we could postpone it to a better date. I agreed and the three of us met at the mall. I’ll be honest I wasn’t expecting much from the date with his little sister around, but surprisingly I had a lot of fun.”
“Granted, Jason had to keep one eye on her while we were chatting and flirting. He even bought her a stuffed toy which she loved and gave him a kiss on the cheek.”
As their date was coming to an end, Jason got them all ice cream, and his sister spilled hers on the floor, then freaked out.

She felt humiliated as Jason’s sister started drawing attention, but Jason took it all in stride.
“Jason managed to calm her down and buy her a new cone,” she said. “All with an unwaveringly warm smile. I was honestly surprised how he did it. It was a little unnerving to me.”
Jason then said they could go to his home and put on a movie, as his sister was exhausted. So, she agreed, and things went great.
Jason’s sister fell asleep, and after he carried her to her bedroom to tuck her in, they were able to spend some quality time alone.
Suddenly, Jason’s sister started having a nightmare and he jumped up to make sure she was alright.
“She apparently wet the bed from fear and was in dire need of comforting,” she continued. “Heck, despite the wet covers, he was sitting beside her, comforting her.”
“The thing that really weirded me out was that when he suggested she take a warm bath, she asked if he could help her again.”
“Granted, he responded that she was a big girl, and that big girls don’t need help from the big brothers bathing anymore. But still, I feel like she only just recently stopped getting help from Jason.”
She felt so uncomfortable that she lied to Jason about having to go home at that point, and Jason didn’t give her a hard time about it.
It’s been a few days since their date, and she has not tried to reach out to Jason, and he hasn’t attempted to contact her either.
“I really like Jason, but IDK,” she added. “I feel really uncomfortable with how close they are and don’t really know how how to address it with him without coming off as an evil stepmom character.”
Do you think she should be weirded out by how close Jason is to his sister?
Honestly, it sounds like he’s a great guy who is doing a wonderful thing by stepping up for his little sister.
