I am the youngest and have a sister above me who is single. In my case, she WANTS me to start dating. She doesn’t want me to wait for her to find the one just because she hasn’t found hers yet. I didn’t tell her this but, I’m not starting to date because I can’t possibly imagine me getting engaged before her. I couldn’t be happy if I was engaged and she wasn’t. Of course she would be happy for me if I were to get engaged before her, but she would deep down be hurt. It’s hard enough when all the girls your age are married, she doesn’t need a younger sister married first. I told her I wasn’t ready to start dating, really it’s just because I want her to go first. Obviously at a certain point I’m going to have to go out even if chas ve’shalom she’s not married…that’s why I’m praying hard that she gets engaged before it gets to that point.
