Ok so i had a crush on my siblings friends and she found out because she read my texts when i wasn't around. She told her friend and the night i came home she ended up coming into my room and we spoke for a hour or so. Her friend and i are becoming closer but the problem is she doesn't have a phone so we kinnda have to communicate through my sister and that sucks( she talks to my sister using a family members phone). My sister sent me a screenshot of her saying that i dont have to doubt her feelings for me. The two of us are very shy/nervous when around each other and its very scary because im new to all this and she hasn't been in a relationship either but im working on my shyness. I came home late the other night and watched a movie on the tv when she came home with my sister and woke me up. We snuggled and watched a movie on the couch and had some goofy conversations. I like this girl and i think she likes me as well. The problem is drinking. When she is with my sister they like drinking and i dont mind but its a turn off if its something they do every weekend. The thing is whenever she is with me she doesn't want to drink and says she is trying to quite (this weekend a friend of hers wanted to know if she wanted a drink and she declined saying she wants to quite but then when im not around she drinks) i feel like she drinks to fit in with people. I really like her but the Drinking is a turn off. What advice could you guys give me?

Well the first thing is that you need a lock on your phone so your sister doesn't read any more texts.

Second you need a relationship independent of your sister. I don't understand how she can not have a phone. How old is she?

One thing stands out (I'll get to the drinking in a minute) ... if you are older enough to 'come in late' and she is old enough to drink... then why on earth do you not have a phone ???? How on earth do you manage without one as (I presume you are an adult from the above info) in this day and age ?

Drinking ...it's hard to say. Could be a full blown alcoholic.. but doubt it if she is turning down drinks... sounds like it's something she does because there is nothing more interesting (until a potential relationship with you..) so my money is on the boredom thing so I wouldn't put to much into that ... but if you do get together and it's a 'problem', then don't attempt to be a saviour and run for the hills !!

But for goodness sake get a phone so you can communicate with her and the rest of the world without going via your sibling . That's just not good.

Ooops apologies... misread ... why doesn't she have a phone if old enough to drink and be out late ?
