ilovetocook Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 After years and much money spent, my big half bro found me! I was looking for my birth father all this time, and my bro was looking for me. I didn't know I had a brother out there, but God blessed me with one! He's 10 yrs. older than me. After conversation via FB Messenger for this past month, he's going to come all the way from NJ to CA to visit me this weekend! We are both so excited! And I know I'm nervous. How do I be a sister? What do we do? He says he's a chill guy and just wants to walk around, but I'm not a chill girl. I'm over thinking, I know. Just wanted to get this nervous energy out into the universe. Thank you for reading Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Talk about your life show him pictures of your family, etc.. Just get acquainted. Do not 'be a sister', be yourself for now and adjust to this news. Link to comment
j.man Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Don't try to be a sister. Right now, you're siblings by blood only. Plus, I'd expect you two to have as much in common as any other man and woman who are at different stages of life. Not to say you can't or won't click, but that I hope he's got other things to keep himself busy while he's there and this isn't exclusively some extended weekend? Or is it meant to be you two hanging out the whole time? Link to comment
HeartGoesOn Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm sure he's not expecting anything less than for you to be your true self. All the best... Link to comment
1a1a Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Echoing, you don't need to be a sister yet just be yourself. Exciting Link to comment
Unreasonable Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I just went through the same thing, although little sis found me last year. If you're an only child, like I was, you're not going to know how to be a sister. Not even if you have kids. It's very difficult because we just wanted to totally unload on eachother, which we did, and when that was over, the relatively lessened amount of things to talk about has made it a little... I don't want to say awkward... but something like that. So I recommend approaching it like a friend. No hours long coversations multiple times a week. Take it slow. Link to comment
