Transitioning from one sister to the other: Ever been done?

[irixith]

We've got a guy who wants someone super shallow for a girlfriend and guys who would swap spit with their own family.

Don't forget the comedian.

Did it once. It wasn't totally awkward but the sister and I (feels a little weird saying that) pretty much knew it was doomed from the start given the history. Had fun for a while but ended up just drifting apart and that was that.

Worth a shot because you never know but going for a sister of an ex (or whatever she is) means that both sides will have baggage from the start which is not the best way to start something.

I GOT IT!!!!

Alright, let's go over this.

You tell the sister you're dating that you want to have a ménage à trois with her and her sister. I believe this course of action will have a 2 pronged effect. Firstly, the very mention of the idea will cause your girlfriend to recoil in disgust, whereupon she will insist that you remove yourself from the premises. At this point it is inevitable that she will seek out her sister to aprise her of this abhorrid turn of events. The sister will then offer your now ex-girlfriend the requisite sympathy, even as part of her can not help but feel somewhat flattered by her inclusion in the unusual request. A few days go by and you place a call to the sister at a time your ex-girlfriend is known to be busy at work. Once the initial awkwardness is releaved with a little playful humour, which she of course can not resist, an invitation to a friendly dinner is proffered.

I know what you may be thinking, that there's only one flaw; they're sisters. She'd have to go out with you behind your ex-girlfriends back, she's not going to do that. If that's what you're thinking, you disappoint me, my friend. Your ex-girlfriend wants NOTHING to do with you. She tells her sister "If you want to waste your time with that pervert, that's your problem".

It's The Perfect Plan.

I know a guy who did it, and it ended extremely badly. I wouldn't suggest it. It pretty much ended with him starting a huge family fight and causing a whole lot of issues with everything considered.

I think I should add to this thread that fraternal polyandry was common and even traditional by Tibetans.

I don't know however if in cases where there is polygyny (that is a lot of ys) if sisters are often sharing the same husband / male partner.

All jokes aside, I guess it really comes down to how well you knew her before you went on this date. Was she a mutual friend? Someone you ran into at a bar? An online meetup?

If the girl was relatively unknown to you before the date, just go ahead and cut it off immediately. At some point in the future (after a few months), try chatting up the sister, avoiding any references to the original date. If the sister remembers and inquires, just say it was a friendly, non-romantic hang out and change the subject (Don't make any value judgments about her being the more desirable sister). Then if you are able to get a date out of her, then you might be able to make it work. The most ideal situation is getting on a date with her without ever mentioning the other sister.

It of course requires a little stretching of the truth, and the hope that your original date with the first sister didn't cause her to be resentful of you.

They aren't named Leah and Rachel are they?


That'd be awkward.
