YOUNG RELATIVE FLIRTS WITH ME

Dear Coleen

My sister-in-law’s brother’s daughter keeps coming on to me and I’m not sure what to do about it. She is 20 and very attractive and I’m 41 and I like to think I’m still attractive.

I don’t want to break any laws and I’m trying not to think about it, but every time she’s around I can’t help but think “What if?”

Have you any words of wisdom?

Coleen says

Yes, give this girl a very wide berth! You wouldn’t be breaking any laws as you’re not related by blood and she’s 20, but I imagine it wouldn’t go down well in the family, so it’s really up to you about whether you want to potentially cause problems with your sisterin-law and her family.

It clearly doesn’t feel right to you or you wouldn’t be writing to me, so I’d say trust your gut instinct and don’t let your ego get you into a situation that could drop a bomb into the middle of your family relationships.

Think about it, what would be the point, really? Is it likely a relationship with this girl would be a lasting thing?

Is it worth it for a few nights of passion with a younger woman?

You say you’re an attractive guy, so why choose someone so close to home if you think it will cause a problem?
