What should I do about my sister always getting in my business and telling me who I should date and not date. I love her to death but sometimes I just wish she would let me do what i want. I know that all she is doin' is watching out for me. What should I do?

im going to assume that she is your older sister. yeah, she probably is just looking out for you, and doesn't want you to get hurt. you just need to explain to her that you need to make your own choices and mistakes. and you would appreciate if she would let you do that. make sure you also tell her that it doesn't mean you dont want her to watch out for you, just in that area of life.

Be thankful that you have a sister who cares about you and who you date. She is just watching over you. You just need to let her know that you love her and that you would rather do your own decision making instead and thank her for being so caring. If this becomes more of a problem to you, then you bring this up to your parents and let them handle her.

Well I am sure that she is only getting into ur business because she cares about you... And I am sure that she is just looking out for you but there has to come a time when you need to tell her that you just need to live your own life and she needs to live hers

It isn't conversation with Sis you want. Remember to say the
same thing she will hate to hear Each Time. Single friend 2X
your age perhaps, says this when his sis starts up:
"IS THIS AN INTERROGATION?" or "STOP INTERROGATING ME!" She will hate the sound of it and slip less, asking things
accidentally. He did it to me, and I quit asking 'where ya going,
who with, when ya coming back?' Privacy level needs to be
established, though family wants to walk all over it.

You can tell her to butt out, but she probably won't. She is looking out for you. She wants the best for you and may know a few things about the person she disapproves of. Listen and then make an informed decision. But...listen, so you don't get hurt.

Tell her to back off and let you live life on your own. Let her know you're not going to learn anything or be independant if she's always on your back - if that doesn't work - try being a little more private and discreet about things.

Tell her you appreciate her advice but you'd also appreciate it if she respects your decisions. I know she just cares about you but there is a thin line between advising and interfering and if she's making you feel uncomfortable I think she's crossed that line.

Tell her you appreciate her concern, but that you do not want her input on your personal life right now, dont be rude, dont be sarcastic, just ask politely.

Appreciate that she loves you, but at the same time, live your own life.
