I am very close to my sister

Home More advice Parents & Family

hi, I'm going to start out and I know most of you are going to simply reply with "oh my god that's nasty and sicK". please save yourself, I don't care what our opinions are in that regard. now then: my younger sister and I have always had a very strong close platonic relationship, although around the time she was 15 (I was 18 at the time) I had noticed her changing and developing and became attracted to her in another sense (although she also is a very loving, caring person and is extremely sweet in a lot of regard). I never acted on any feelings because 1) she was underage and jailtime is not something I want to experience in my life 2) obviously if anyone found out it could destroy the family or at least turn some heads 3) she seemed to genuinely love me in a strictly "brother" kind of way. however we both have had bad luck in the relationship department and have been there for each other when each of us has ended a relationship with a significant other and we are very close in that regard...but like I said both of us have had little to no luck in the dating department and I completely respect her and feel she is kind of my ideal woman (other than the fact that she is my sister). we are both of age now, so legally we could do what we want, but I don't want to really disclose my feelings to her seeing as depending on how she reacts it could make things uncomfortable between us or a number of other things could happen. what do I do?
