**disclaimer: I understand this has very little to do with dating but it's a Saturday night and this is probably the only section that will get any responses

 

A couples months ago a friend of mine friend requested my sister on facebook. At the time I thought it was a little strange since he didn't really know my sister very much, but not that big of a deal since I was friends with his brother and he was friends with my brother, our families had known each other for years and we lived right down the street from each other.

 

But tonight my sister received a text message from him asking her if she wanted to come over to his house to have sex. When she refused his offer he then invited her over to get drunk. It was inappropriate in many ways.

 

Now, I don't know how to react to this. I'm disgusted and disappointed. Obviously I can't just go over and punch him in the mouth, but I mean do I ignore it? Do I confront him about it?

 

This is a guy I used to be good friends with and while we've drifted apart some since college he's still the last guy I would have thought would pull something like this. Any ideas?

Not sure, dude. Did your sister make it clear that she wasn't down with any of this? If she did, and he stopped texting her after that, I'd say you don't have to do anything. However, if he continues to text her things like this, I think you'll likely need to tell him that she's not comfortable with his advances--and hopefully he'll get the point.

Yeah she did, he texted her a couple times after but then stopped...at least for now. Thing is she's underaged (for both sex and alcohol) and he knows this. Not to mention you don't do your friends like that.

Wow... in context of what you read, as long as he's not persisting about your sister I'd just leave it alone.

 

My respect for that guy would low, like through the floor. He sounds like he has some issues he needs to deal with.

Whoa...that makes it even worse. He should know better. Seems like friendship is the last thing on his mind here.

 

Hopefully he got the point, but if he texts her again, tell him to stop texting her.

Yeah. I'm just so...shocked. I knew he liked to party sometimes and get drunk on the rare occasion, but I mean I never thought he'd do something that low. I guess it goes to show that you never really do know someone.

Wow. I guess you could try ignoring it for now. I at least hope you plan on discontinuing your association with this person.

Seriously. With "friends" like these, who needs enemies?
