Chemistry with new SIL's bro

Okay. I know this is bad and wrong.

I'm a regular mn'er and curious about the litmus test of this situ in AIBU.

My brother got married recently and my new SIL's bro and I really hit it off at the wedding with this being the first time we've met.

Both single. Both out of LTR's. I really fancy him but didn't act or say anything although we naturally gravitated & hung out having a laugh over the celebrations. About a week has passed and he just told me via fb that he really likes me.

I don't know what to say - I really like him, but this is just weird??! He's my SIL's DB?!?

AIBU to want to GFI?

Absolutely go for it. Why wouldn't you?

Waveysnail · 26/06/2019 13:26

It's fine but I'd go slow and make sure its right.

Cool woman meets hot man at wedding. Both single.

This could be the start of a good relationship, a brilliant anecdote or an awful romance novel.

Go forth, kiss and report back!

My 2 aunties (sisters) are married to two brothers! Go for it!

daisyboocantoo · 26/06/2019 13:43

GFI!

Go for it :) but tread carefully. You wouldn't want to make socially gatherings or think awkward for your brother and SIL if you ended up having a big fall out.

This is amazing!! Thank you all!

Totally unexpected & I really can’t believe how many people are saying they know this exact thing has happened??

Who needs OLD? Everyone look at your extended family first 😂😂😂

Well we’re meeting up for coffee and discuss the “ethics” on Friday. Just our little secret for now lol.

Omg 😂

Thank you all so much! Xx

And def noted re potential future awkwardness- yes. So true. Definitely bearing that in mind (but for the mo buried deep under the lustful thoughts 🤣)

@TheABC

This could be the start of a good relationship, a brilliant anecdote or an awful romance novel.

It could tick all three 😁

Oh exciting! Yes its risky but if it works what an awesome set up! I was good friends with my line manager, hes now my BIL. Good luck, I hope this turns out like the movies!

It sounds lovely. I married my sister's husband's brother. We got married 3 weeks apart, 14 years ago next month. We have children who are 'double' cousins.
Don't worry about the 'it might be awkward if you split up' brigade. You only live once!

Hope coffee went well Wink

Horsemad · 29/06/2019 06:54

Maybe OP's too busy to come back and update! 😉 😆
