I would just do it! If I were the sibling, and on the receiving end, I'd think it was a nice move.
Does he have a good relationship with them? If so, I say go for it . . .
Definitely add them! FI's brothers both added me before we'd even met, times are crazy nowadays.
I added tons of my FI's friends that I met and his siblings to fb.
I figured that they may feel awkward doing it so I just went ahead and added them.
They they tagged me in pics they had and invited me to events and what not. I say go ahed and add them. I feel like it shows them how serious you are about your bf.
I don't remember who added who, but I talk to my SIL more than my husband does!! so needless to say, we are fb friends. I say go for it!
Definitely add them! They will think its a nice move. While I think that it should be the sibling friending the SO (I friended all my brothers girlfriends) because I think it makes the SO feel welcome into the family....I friended all my husbands sisters and brothers in law....dont think it makes a difference at this point!
Do it! It's good to be able to say hi, happy birthday, etc. I juuuust got their cell phone numbers recently, and it's only because FI was in the hospital and they wanted to be updated on his condition.
thanks for all the feedback! I've been waiting for them to add me cuz i kinda feel like...maybe they should make the first move? I just don't want to feel like the crazy girlfriend who's begging to be part of the family!!
Am I being paranoid here? Plus the majority of the poll says the siblings added them :)
I sent my SIL a friend request that she didn't accept for about a year... I think it's a nice gesture though.
I believe they added me first, but granted they are much younger so they probably didn't realize how happy it made me.
I am very close to my SO's family, including his siblings. I've gone out for drinks and shopping several times with his older sister, and his younger brother is usually at our house at least once a week. I'm also close with his Aunt's and Uncles, and cousins. They are a very tight nit family, and as only my mom and step-dad are here in the state with me, they've become my extended family over the last 5 1/2 years. Crap, I get more presents from them for Christmas than I do my own parents!
My FSIL friended me on FB but we don't really talk much. When we do talk we have good conversation though. I told her she just wants to keep tabs on me...LOL.
I think I added them but it was a long time ago so I can't be sure. I find usually the best time to add someone is right after you see them in person. That way it's like "Oh I just saw this person, maybe I should add them on facebook", if you're worried about them reading into it. Just go for it!
I would do it! My SO's sister added me before I met her. It was actually right after we put our relationship on facebook. I thought it was very nice. After that, I friended my SO's brother, and he immediately accepted. My brother friended my SO.
my FI's sister added me... though if i had the choice i wouldn't have added her if she didn't add me.. i dunno i think its sort of strange.. she sees pictures of my "partying" days and all that stuff.. his siblings are WAY older than me. So I just think its weird.. I'm 25 this november my FI is 32 and his siblings are older than him by 3 or so yrs each... I think she secretly hates me.
I've only added the one I've met. I haven't added the other one. I think that would be a touch strange. I will once we have met.
I have no clue at this point who added who but DH and I have been facebook friends with each others siblings for a long time! Add them - it will be a nice gesture.
I don't know who added who but I am FB friends with all of FI's 6 sisters. If you are going to get engaged then they are your future SIL so go ahead and add them.
I love all my in-laws so when my SIL sent me a friends request, I gladly accepted. I am also now friends with both of his brothers though I think I might have sent the friends request to one or both of them! :)
I am friends with my DH's sister on fb but I honestly don't recall who friended who first. Interestingly, I'm not friends with my brother's wife on fb.
Well, Mr. LR is an only child, but I am friends with his mom and cousins on facebook! I don't remember who friended who first, but I think it's definitely ok if you know them!
Mr. LR was friended by my ENTIRE family after meeting him, as we are all really close, so it's no biggie to us :)
Go ahead and add them! I added mine - you can always set certain privacy settings. I have certain things locked for specific family members.
My FSIL even added my siblings to her friends.
The whole family added me. Extended, immediate, it's a family reunion all up in my facebook.
I'm friends with all of my FI's siblings on Facebook. His aunts and uncles have added me also. We're very very close to his family so it's not awkward at all! One of his brothers lives with us and the other one is over at least once a week. His sister and I text and call each other too. I say that you should add them!
My fiance is an only child, but he has like twenty cousins. We aren't facebook friends yet :)
He is facebook friends with my sister, though, and that happened long before we were engaged. Go ahead and add them if you want!
Oh god. I have distant relatives from England in my FB friends. I think every single person he's related to, and has facebook has added me.
lulz, they must like me.
I would if J had any brother's or sister's. I do have his aunts, grandmom, and mom on my Facebook though.
My FI's younger sister who is cool added me. Then I added her husband who I'm also cool with. I did not add his older sister because she can be a real bitch and she did not send me a request.
I think it'd be a nice gesture for you to add them cuz maybe they don't know you're on facebook.
Oh, I wouldn't worry about adding them! I think it's only weird when you jump the gun and add them before you've met or something.
Mine SO is the oldest of 6. 3 of them added me. 1 if them doesn't have a FB account and the other never added me so I went ahead and added her. No big deal, I'm not very active on FB so it doesn't make a lot of difference.
FH's siblings added me at various times in our relationship. His mom was one of the first people to add me : )
I don't see the harm in it since you've already met.
I would definitely add them! I have my FMIL and one of FI's sisters on my FB.
Weird story though, I added my FI's younger sister, she accepted, but put me on limited profile... I'm not an idiot lol. Then a few days later she told me she had exams and was getting rid of her facebook... well that was a lie, she blocked and then deleted me, but doesn't know that I know. I was pretty offended, but I guess she is just very private and is worried I would tell FI things about her... we've had a normal relationship but aren't very close, but it was so weird to me that she did that! Bugs me because I included her as a bridesmaid in the wedding party and everything!
I would. I was happy when my husband's brother friended me. And when my sister got serious with her bf, I friended him. I like knowing what is going on with him.
I really like FI's sister and her DH. I think I added both of them, but I honestly can't remember. I know it was after we had met though. I really want to get to know FI's sister better because we have a lot in common, so facebook is a great way to do that since we live in different states.
I guess it is different in my situation because I've known my SO's sister longer then I've known him so I never gave a second thought to being her facebook friend. As to his cousins and others he's very close to, the closer we became is when I usually added them.
DH's sisters were my friends the weekend I met them, both IRL and on facebook... I love them!
If you want to be their friends on fbook then go ahead. If not, just wait for them to add you. I don't see that it would be a bad decision to have them as friends. They're going to know a lot about you already... and family in general are nosy anyway :) I'm surprised they haven't already added you in curiosity!

Hi All!
So I have a dilemma...
My boyfriend (and soon to be fiance)'s siblings and I have met several times and I'm wondering if I should friend them on facebook or wait for them to make the move.
We've all played board games together, been to numerous family functions and we actually go to kickboxing class with one of his sisters. Although we haven't gotten so close that we go out together or call each other, I'm wondering when is a good time to become facebook friends. I post lots of pictures of my SO and me, so it would be nice for them to see the pictures, since I set my privacy controls as "friend only".
