OK, I know it is forbidden to date the sisters, exes or potentials of your friends, but, seriously...
How wrong would it be for me to date my buddy's sister?

I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with it. If you ever break up tho, it might affect the friendship.

I think rules like this sort of go out the window once we become adults. Just act like an adult.

Aye. I have not only 'dated' the exes (or sisters) of friends, I'm marrying one (we've finally set a date to stop living in sin; only taken us eight years :D).

if a friend had a problem with me dating his sister, I would question the strength of the friendship.

I think thee is that certain weird feeling....but yeah, once you graduate high school, that, too should subside.

If the guy is good enough to hang out with....

Then again, maybe you know too much about the icky guy stuff he said about girls.... :lol:

Are you going to wear a Hakama and sword at the service?

It's not in the least bit wrong. But, sometimes, it can feel really complicated. Not just in the here and the now, but later.

But, hey, faint heart never won fair lady. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! (and tomorrow I shall suffer cliche hangover)

Go ahead and date her. Just don't share details with your friend.

I don't know about buddies, but my dad married his brother-in-law's kid sister. (Yes, my cousins and I look eerily similar.)

It's a small sample size, so probably not statistically significant, but given what's posted in this thread, there is apparently a connection between inbreeding and the study of martial arts...

:rofl:

I have long cherished such an image but I suspect I will not be allowed to :(. Mind you, we shall be having a second, more private, hand-fasting when we have had the 'official' one done ... so maybe then :).

My wife and also had two ceremonies. One with family & friends at our home in the US. And one with just the two of us in the battlements at Amberley Castle in your neck of the woods. Amberley was for us. The other was to make the families and govt happy.
