Now, she says I'm her 'boyfriend'. I'm 'worried' why does she say that?. Thanks all and greetings from Wyoming, US!. Johnny.

Answer 1

That's sweet man.

I'm 18 too and I've a 6-year-old sister. I would die for her. It's a puppy love!

Greetings back from New JErsey!

Answer 2

hey m8 nothing to worry about at all, she is playing.she loves you.  

Answer 3

enjoy how she feels about u it;s a puppy love thing some day she'll have the real boy friend and u'll be protecting her like a hawk

Answer 4

Lmao, She's just a kid...Let her know she's your sis and that you've got a girlfriend (if you do).

Answer 5

She probably just looks up to you. I wouldn't take it as any more than that.

Answer 6

What it probably is, is that she seen you with your girlfriend and you say i love you to each other. Well siblings say they love each other it's just she doesn't distinguish the difference between the i love you you say to your gf and the i love you coming from you as a brother.

Children i have noticed develop a type of puppy love as said before with someone they admire.

my little cousin used to call me his girlfriend we're 17 years apart when he was about 3 he started and i was 20 already and when he said i was his girlfriend i kinda laughed and shrugged it off and his older sister (she was 23 at the time) laughed and said but Wyatt she's married she can't be married and have a boyfriend and he looked at her and said but if you're married you can have friends too can't you? he meant it like i was a girl but i was also his friend your sister might have that same idea but they're little everything is pure innocence to them

Answer 8

To answer your question, its just innocense, they don't know better. Plus she seems like she's really close to you and looks up to u.
