Is it weird to date your sister in laws nephew?

[Anonymous]

So my sister in laws nephew who is 24 has been asking me on a date for the past year. I’ve said no because I think it’s a bit weird even though we’re not related. It could lead to something very complicated if we were to date and break up since his aunt is in my family.
im really attracted to him but very confused, any thoughts?

Yes it will make for awkward family events

No you’re not related

Depends

So I don't really think there's anything "wrong" or "inappropriate" about it, but I personally wouldn't want to put myself in a situation where I might need to still see the guy if things don't work out. Many years ago, my brother-in-law's brother wanted to date me. I mean, there are brothers who marry sisters and whatnot, so there's nothing wrong with it, but his family was just too ingrained with my family. There would have been no way to avoid him if things didn't work out, and we'd likely have our families prying into our business.

I think it's weird mainly cause he's a nephew and not a brother that reason

I’m two years older than him. So if it was her brother that wouldn’t be weird. Makes no sense.

How does your sister in law and you have such an age gap?

[Asker]

It’s a 13 year age gap because I’m the youngest and my brother is in his late 30’s it’s not that uncommon.

I guess the only weird thing is that if you had a kid he or she will refer to your sister-in-law as both an aunt and a great aunt. And then at that point it's like which one is correct? Dad's side connection or mom's side connection? Ha ha I just think it will be weird. probably dad side more correct maybe

[Tea-Spaghetti]

Whatever it’s probably not the biggest deal just emphasize the dad’s connection or the mom’s connection more whichever you decide on

No it’s not weird, I dated my brother in laws brother. You’re not related so I say go for it.

[Tea-Spaghetti]

If you have to ask then it probably is.
