U know what would make it WORSE?
IF…one sister had genuine feelings/interest in the guy. That would hurt more.
And several months ago, there was a thread where a girl had posted that she had feelings for her cousin…jokes were made linking their names over the years…and the guy and his mom turned her down…and went for her sister.
Neither the guy’s mom…nor the girl’s mom/younger sister…could understand why she was feeling uncomfortable/hurt. And the guy and his mom were offended that she was acting a bit out of spirits…and encouraged her own mother and sister to give her the cold shoulder. In the end…the girl’s entire family could see that the guy was a jerk because he was inconsiderate person overall with no respect even for elders. So…they dropped him.
But…even one’s own parents might not always be mindful about the sensitivity of a situation.
