My sister-in-law is 18 and has been dating a 29 year old cop that used to live down the street from her for about a month or so. Though he is 29, he really doesn't look his age and acts like my husband and me (we're 21). He's a really nice guy and they seem to get along pretty well, but there were some things that struck me as odd. My husband and I have our own apartment with our 11 month old son and it was my husband's birthday last weekend. We had them both over for the majority of the night drinking and having fun (not too rowdy though,... baby was sleeping) and they came over the next day to continue the celebration. Well, my sil's bf would follow me and talk to me when I was changing, bathing, feeding, whatever my son. I thought it was because he was interested in child care, but he did the same when I was alone putting a load of laundry in the machine or go in the other room to get something. Does this sound like he's interested in me or am I just jumping to conclusions and he just enjoys my company? It kinda gave me a weird vibe. Most of the time guys tend to stick with their girlfriends when they're over at other people's houses. What do you think? I normally try not to be a flirt, just courteous considering he's a guest in our house, but do you think he could've taken that wrong?

  1. He's either trying to make a good impression with you or he has a little thing for you.  


  2. Its hard to tell, but if he hasn't said anything to suggest that he's hitting on you then I would just keep an eye on it for now. It's possible he's interested but it's also possible he's just a little socially weird. If it gives you a weird vibe you could try saying something like "Hey so-and-so, I don't want to distract you from the party, why don't you let me finish changing my son/doing laundry and I'll be right out there. Besides I'll bet "SIL" is lonely out there without you!" just something like that to maybe give him a subtle hint that he should go be with his GF and the rest of the group.


  3. he might just want to impress you or something get to know you because its his girlfriends family my boyfriend is like that with ma dad follows him and chatting to him and stuff an leaves me with the step mom that i don't really get on with lol hes just trying to stay om ma dads good side because you care about what the family thinks to you do you understand its men there strange lol hope my advise is ok for you  

  4. Before you jump to any conclusion, see how he interacts with your sister-in-law?  Does he seem really into her? Does he treat her well?  If he is all over your sister-in-law then he's not interested in you and he's merely just being friendly towards you.  Also, if your sister-in-law's bf isn't making any inappropriate remarks to you or making any pass at your then it sounds like he just enjoys your and your family's company.  Nothing to it.  

  5. jumping to conclusions

  6. some people just single out someone to talk to when they are nervous

    i wouldnt react straight away you dont want to cause unrest.  

    see how things go for a few days.
