How can I date my Dad's girlfriend's nephew?

Question

Alright, there is no blood relation here.

Myself and the nephew are in our mid and late twenties, respectively.

My dad and his girlfriend never intend to marry (both divorced, in their 50's).

The nephew and I, we flirt a lot, make each other laugh and have quite a bit in common. We are also both looking for serious relationships, even settling down in the future.

He works for a political party and I'm in my last years at university, studying to become a political journalist (go figure). We'd be perfect for each other if we'd met on our own...

I guess what's holding me back is the reaction of my Dad and his girlfriend's/the nephew's family in that I have NO CLUE what to expect (they'll either love it, or hate it, ha!).

What to do?!

Answer 1

Give it a shot and see what happens that really all you can do.

Answer 2

my wife has a girlfrined who i met the first time i met my wife (i'm not jealous ?????)

Answer 3

I don't know, go ask your father...

Answer 4

That would make you step cousins!  OH MY GOD DONT DO or just move to Alabama, where that kind of thing is completely normal.

Answer 5

Ask him, and yourself, Do you believe things happen for a reason?

Well, consider that if your Dad had not began dating his Aunt you may have never met.

The question itself is a good starting place to get the conversation going and let him know that you believe things do happen for a reason and that you would like to know if he might be as interested in dating you as your are in dating him.  This will be a great place to open up a little to one another.

Good luck - and don't let fear stop you from finding out if you both have a chance together.

Answer 6

You're not related by blood or even marriage, so the "gross" factor and the potential health issues around marrying family are not an issue.

If you both are attracted to each other, don't worry what other people will think.

In my family 1 couple met for the first time when the woman's brother and the man's sister got married. Our family is linked in 2 places. It's more common than you think.

Answer 7

Just invite her if you really/honestly with good intentions want to date her.

Answer 8

try it

sound´s like a romantic movie

good luck!

Answer 9

uhmm. i think that would just be a little weird. i would maybe keep it a secret for a while, and then when you find the right time tell them.

or maybe wait for your dad and his girlfriend to break up :p

but i'm sure they will respect your decision to get together with this man either way :]

good luck.

Answer 10

How about you bring it up to your dad and see how he feels about it.  I don't see anything wrong with it, since you are not related in anyway, and your father and his girlfriend have no intentions on marrying.  Give it a try.  Good luck!!  ;)

Answer 11

Yes.

Answer 12

Yea sure you can.

your dad and his girlfriend are only dating and arnt gonna get married thats ok for you to date her nephew then

and its not her son its her nephew thats a more distant relation to her though not much.

Answer 13

well, love is the best thing in the world; everybody says.

if you do want to settle down with this guy, then go for it.

nobody's holding you back.

if you think about it, your dad and his girlfriend will probably be happy for you two if you guys start dating :)

you guys don't have to do anything TOO serious, such as getting involved with your dad's relationship. just stick to your own, and it'll be perfectly fine. :D

xoxo.

Answer 14

well if ur dad and his gf got married u and the nephew ould become cousins

Answer 15

Approach it carefully and start with him. If you flirt with him and think he's into you (not just into a relationship), go for it. If it works out, then let your dad know. If not, it won't be lying if you just ignore it and don't tell.

Answer 16

u cant

Answer 17

Amore! Do not stand in the path of love. By all means go for it and date till the cows come home. Good luck!

P.S. I had to say that I just married my sister and everything is fine. Just Kidding! Go for your love. It's actually a very nice love story if you think of it and since I am the Titanic of love it's nice to see you are not. Way to go.
