When He Calls You "Sister"

Dear Bro Jo,

So if a guy calls you his sister (or in my case "sista") a girl pretty much has no chance of ever being seen beyond that right?

Dear Girl,

It depends on how lame the guy is.

Dear Bro Jo,

Meaning?

- Girl




Dear Girl,

Does he think he's cool?

Is he really bad at flirting?

Either is pretty lame.

Or is he simply trying to let you down easy by telling you he thinks of you more as a sister than a girlfriend?

That's actually pretty nice . . . and not lame at all.

Of course, he could be using it as a term of endearment, actually intending to imply that while, in a very Mormon Way, you're his "sister in Christ" he actually thinks of you more fondly than others.  THAT might be what you're hoping for.

Of course, in our culture, he may just be trying to be cool or hip . . . and whether or not he's seen as such depends on, well, how you view him.  Right?

Dear Bro Jo,

He's really bad at flirting.

A little slow and shy with girls.

Thanks for your insights.

Dear Girl,

Any time!

PS:  You know . . . you could always just ask him . . .
