To whom this may concern,

So, you want to date my little sister? I understand. I mean, let’s be honest, she’s pretty gorgeous and has a killer personality to match. Although I personally don’t believe I will ever think any guy is good enough for her, I promise I will give you a fair chance. With that being said, there are a few things you need to know beforehand.

First of all, she has a heart of gold and she will do anything to make the people she cares about happy. She will give and give until she has nothing left — but don’t take the fact that she puts her loved ones first for granted. I need you to make sure she takes care of her own needs too. Remind her that it’s okay to be selfish and that she can put herself first sometimes.

Secondly, accept her for who she is and don’t try to change her. She is overly talkative and she can be a little overwhelming at times but don’t ever tell her to shut up or that what she is saying is not important. If you cause her eyes to stop lighting up when she tells a story or talks about something she loves I will lose all respect for you. I know you might not think what she is saying is important but if it’s important to her and you care about her, then you should listen.

Another thing I need you to do is support her and encourage her to do everything she dreams about doing. Don’t hold her back or tell her that she isn’t smart enough or good enough to do whatever she wants to do because she might do something crazy like believe you. If she sets her mind to something, I can guarantee she will reach her goal.

Finally, just be the kind of guy she deserves. Surprise her with birthday cake ice cream for no reason just because it’s her favorite and you know she loves it. Take her out on cute dates but don’t get mad if she just wants to stay home and chill out. Tell her she is beautiful even if she has just woken up because she is and sometimes she just needs to be reminded. Respect her wishes and don’t ever make her do something she isn’t 100 percent comfortable with. Encourage her to be the best version of herself but understand when she isn’t. Comfort her when she cries even if it’s about something stupid. And most importantly, give her the unconditional love she deserves. If you ever hurt her, I can promise you it won’t be her dad or brothers you need to be scared of, it will be me (although they can be pretty scary, too). My opinion of you matters the most and I am the person that can make you go from boyfriend to ex real quick.

Treat her how she deserves to be treated and we won’t have a problem. If you are lucky enough to date my sister just hope that you never have to know how bad it hurts to lose someone as amazing as her.
