Would you sleep with your best friends brother or sister? One of my friends is dating another friends sister at the moment. Would you date a friends sister? It is great when things are going well, I have found in the past that it ruins friendships when people split. It then becomes friends and family pulling you. Your friend splitting from your sister can also be the end of your friendship

I have dated and slept with a friend's sister, and nothing really happened. My friend didn't care and my friend's parents were happy their daughter was dating someone who was smart and would make something of himself.

I would sleep with my bf brother. I think that it is possible to end the realtionship with the brother and continue to have a good friendship with your friend. As long as you define the situation with both sides. Although it is a risky move i think that i would sleep with my friends brother.

It depends really on the friendship the two person have. Anyway, I got a friend who doesn't want her friend to date her brother. She is just cautious. She fears that if her brother and her friend would date and be in an intimate relationship, there would come a time that she would side with one person in case her brother and her friend are in arguments. She doesn't want the time to come in where she is torn between choosing her brother or her friend.

I would not mind sleeping with my best friend's sister if she was sexy and wanted me. Unfortunately my best friend's sister is 10 years elder to her and is not inclined to such a affair. I wish she had a yonger sister then I would have taken her to bed any day.

i agree to what you said simesc...But well,if you really like the brother or sis and you both want the same thing,them maybe it shouldnt be a problem. Yes if you just are looking for fun then might ruin the friendship with your friend for sure. Thats what i feel..what about other people?

No, I wouldn't consider it, but then again, I've never tried it either. It's quite weird regardless if you're sincere or not about dating his/her brother or sister. I think there's a bond between friends to 'keep away' from family. It's true though, that whenever a relationship ends and it so happened that that girl/guy is a sister/brother of your friend, then there would be a huge possibility of the friendship to end as well. It's too difficult I guess when there's emotions involved within a friendship, of course they would be on their brothers'/sisters' side, since as they say blood is thicker than water. So, as a rule of thumb, brothers/sister or family is strictly off limits.

Maybe I'm too idealistic or naive, but I have always thought the best romantic relationships evolve out of strong friendships and people who really care about each other. Would I have a fling with my best friend's brother? A casual hook-up or a night of drunken stupidity that I'd regret after the fact? No. At least I hope not. I agree that this type of thing is much too likely to sabotage the friendship, as is getting into a "dating" relationship with the sibling but treating them badly (like cheating, etc.) But if my best friend had a brother that I also cared for as a friend and developed romantic feelings for him over time? That might be a very good match, if both people take it seriously and are invested. I would love it if my best friend morphed into my sister-in-law over time! And even if it didn't work out, I think it's possible to part ways with someone while still respecting and caring about them and retain an independent relationship with your best friend in the process. Granted, all of this depends on various factors such as the different personalities involved, maturity, readiness for a serious relationship, healthy boundaries in the midst of conflicting loyalties, the ability to embrace change, etc. The ideal in my head is often not the reality that plays out in practice. But I don't think it's impossible.

It might not be a very good idea. You see not all relations will end up happily ever after like in a fairy tale. Of course yur best friend will be very happy when you dating with their loved ones. Hoping that you will end up as one in the family. But what happens if the relationship turns sour and you break up. Your best friend will not be so happy because he will be embarrassed since he knows you been sleeping together. There will be a rift between your friendship and you wont be close as before.
