Since you feel that you're pretty close with her, I think it's probably a good idea. She probably knows you pretty well, so could maybe give you advice that's specific to you.
Of course, you'd have to see how she feels about it, but hopefully she'd be willing to help you at least with non-sexual part of dating and relationships. I'd try to help my sisters (or brothers) with that kind of thing. Anything sex-related could be more uncomfortable for one or both of you to discuss, though if you're both comfortable talking about that then even that could be reasonable.
I think I'd start by asking how she'd feel about you asking her a few questions regarding what women like in regards to dating and see how she responds to that. If she seems uncomfortable with it, then you might have to go somewhere else for advice, but hopefully she'll be willing to help.

It's not necessarily weird. It depends on your sister's age and relationship with her.
hell naw its not weird - thats ur family, she knows u best so she can tailor advice to ur personality and how u perceive things. my brother is the opposite of u, he like to say that there's "sibling boundaries and walls that should stay up", however for me I view it as, we're all human, shits gonna happen - get over it. ur sisters probably gonna be open to it so I say, as a sister to a brother, go for it - and if she says otherwise or is uncomfortable; obviously refrain from asking anything further. also is there no female friends u wanna have this conversation with first?
I don’t think it’s weird at all. If you like girls, asking girls close to you stuff about girls is the best way to get some knowledge.
I always feel that guys who have sisters better understand me because if we fight, they will talk about it to their sister who will explain why I react a certain way, if my own explanation is lacking.

You could ask for advice without being too explicit. Since she's your sister, you know for sure she wants the best for you and she'll be honest... if she's a wise person her advice may be really valuable. Also it will help you see things from a female perspective.
Not weird. It's just wrong. You never ask for women about dating advice. They always give the worst advice possible. First off your sister has to be in a relationship she wishes to have and even if that's the case, it is a relationship that SHE likes and that SHE believes is ideal for her personally.
Haha it's alright. My brother is 4 years older than me and he's asked me for dating advice. Him and I aren't close to normally talk about stuff like that so I felt happy he came to me and asked. I was happy to help.
I depends upon many factors, like age gap, her friendliness or otherwise with you, if she is dating someone, have you ever discussed with her in general about dating, why do you feel that she can advice you without being uncomfortable?
Definitely go for it. If you are close with her then it wouldn't be weird at all and she could offer a whole new perspective.. And if you sense that she feels uncomfortable with it then you can always stop
Not weird at all. My brother asks me things like that all the time. I think that there are very few situations in which communication is a bad thing. So ask away. :)
It's a bit weird.
I used to talk with my older sister about both of our relationships.
It's not always a great idea to let her into your personal life to that extent.
I kind of needed my own space.
Plus I got too involved and was very protective of my sister and angry at her husband.
Then she got over the issue with him, but I didn't.
Now we just stay out of each other's business.N, o. If anything that is a pretty good source to get information.
If you are friendly with her and think she will respond you properly, ask her.
Actually, it's a good idea as long as she isn't your only source.
No, go ahead and ask her. You're family, it shouldn't be weird.
Nope who better than a female sibling especially one your close to they gonna give it to you like good hard scotch straight up no chaser
Yea. my 26 year old little sister gives good advice.
It not weird at all, I mean, you are related by blood, you are family, you can discuss almost anything.
Nah, it's pretty normal. I would've loved it if my brother were to ask me for dating or girl advice. But sadly, he doesn't. This is because he knows I'll tease him endlessly about it lol.
I think it's very normal , especially if y'all are close
only if you think you can really trust her to help you with something like this
It's not weird especially if she's older or is more extroverted than you are.
I would hope your sister would be good family and help you with any relationship advice you need. But, I'm an only child so, I don't know
Ofc not. That's a normal thing to do.
