i want to ask my aunt for a date

[Disneyfreak616]

What's the next thread? "My Aunt dumped me and I don't know why nobody wants me at Easter dinner? Now I am stuck at her x-husband's house since he's the only monkey's uncle who can cook ham....."

You have??

I got the impression she meant a pair of brothers marrying a pair of sisters, not siblings marrying each other.

This is where I think it gets weird, and for me, it's not about blood relation at all, but about how you've grown to know a person.

If a pair of brothers dated a pair of sisters and they all got married around the same time, nothing weird about that. If one of the couples had been married for years, and for years the other two have spent time together as BIL/SIL, it would be weird (to me) if they started dating.

OP, you refer to this woman as your aunt. Not your uncle's wife. To me, there is a difference. She's been in the role of "aunt" to you long enough that you think of her that way, and that's what makes this creepy. No matter whether you are blood related or not, it's the role in the family. Like the link a couple of pages ago about the siblings. While both are creepy, I would put a pair of adoptive siblings, not blood related but raised in the same household as brother and sister, way higher up the creepiness scale than the "separated at birth" siblings who don't know they're blood related.

and I can't believe I just wrote all that.

My own personal philosophy is that one should strive to never become a step-parent to one's own cousin. It's kept my life relatively free of complications thus far.

Oh my gosh....perfect!

Or I waited too long and now she is taken by her not blood related grandson...

This reminded me of Marcia and Greg!

OP, don't do it. Everyone else is right, it would be very weird.

Half aunt's not looking so scandelous anymore.

From Big Love;

Adaleen [to ten year old girl]: Okay, here's how it goes; it's complicated, so try to follow along. I'm thirty-two of fifty-six children, and when I married Roman I became my own step-grandma, because my father married Roman's daughter, Baylene. So little Josie, that makes you my step-grandma, and I'm your step-mom. And when I had Alby he became my great-uncle and I became his great-great grandmother. Which of course makes me my own grandmother.

Sorry but where do we get the HALF aunt??? There is NO such thing! An aunt is an aunt weather by blood or marriage she is still an aunt not half aunt. I guess I'm missing something?

 

[libraryfreak]

OP - were your mom and dad related before they got married?

 

[hugscot]

I think you should just to PO the uncle lol Can I get an invite to the next family function so I can see the fall out?

 

[shouldiask]

Did you ask her out yet?

no not yet. I guess I should wait until the divorce is final.

 

[shouldiask]

ok I am going to assume that this is all false but I am just going to throw this in here...
I am not blood related to my uncle, he is only 8 years older than me, but he's like a brother to me. So it doesn't matter that "we're not blood related" he is still like a brother to me and the thought of it would make me ill.

I can see your point your uncle is like a brother to you. well my aunt is not like a sister to me.

 

[Swank]

You shouldn't date her unless you want your family tree to look like a bush.

This is what I meant. A brother marrying his sister GROSS!!! A brother getting married to the sister of his brother's wife, not uncommon.

This was my point as well. If he wants to start dating his AUNT who he is close to and considers "FAMILY", it is wrong and will cause problems. If she is a nice lady his uncle was married to, but he doesn't know that well, it MIGHT be okay.

I'd go ahead and ask her out now so your family can get a head start on rejecting you now.

This thread is still going strong? The Dis cracks me up sometimes with what is appropriate and inappropriate. Carry on!

 

[FergieTCat]

Hmmm, I hear banjos

You people are cold, if not entertaining!

OK, I resisted reading this thread for a few days coz the title just grossed me out. Didn't realize just how funny the responses would be! I've only gotten about half way thru all the posts but you guys are killing me!

Op, bad enough if you really want to ask your "half-aunt" rolleyes out. Beyond creepy to offer her a place to live & then hit on her. I feel for the poor woman. Finds out her DH was cheating, gotta get divorced, move her kids coz of money issues & then his creepy "half- nephew" hits on her!

What more does one woman need to endure??!!


On the other hand, I've now got a few hours of entertaining posts to catch up on!! Thanks for the diversion.

Half-nephew? When someone is a "half", as in half-sister, half-brother, that means they are blood relation. The op is not a blood relative of the aunt, so he is not a half-newphew.

And I also want to add that I actually don't find any of the responses on this thread funny at all. Some of them are down-right mean...which seems to be the way of the dis these days. Let's see how mean we can be.

The OP is the one who referred to her as his "half- aunt" .

And I find many responses funny Just like the topic... different opinions.
