Hey ladies, I've got a dilemma. My older sister is my best friend, always has been. We talk about almost everything together. Well she's turning 28 in three months and she hasn't had a boyfriend in 10 years. Her self esteem is completely shot and she is struggling with depression because of it. She feels like there's something wrong with her.

As much as I try to cheer her up, it's to no avail. She gets lost in her own hobbies but is upset that she never meets anyone. I've suggested online dating, where I met my boyfriend, but she says she doesn't want to subject herself that and she should be able to meet people in person. But for some reason, my sister and I don't meet people in person. It never worked for me and it's not working for her.

I'm not quite sure what to do anymore. When I was single and unhappy, I prayed and focused on bettering myself but I was also on dating apps and I kept trying and it worked.

My sister and I are roommates... So when my boyfriend comes over, she is subjected to see us hug and kiss. I don't do it on purpose (I'm actually not a fan of PDA) but we're just an affectionate couple. The problem is that I KNOW my sister hates it because she's made me feel uncomfortable about it before. But what am I supposed to do?

I feel like I have to walk on eggshells around her when it comes to my relationship, which is hindering it and causing me stress. I don't mean to sound selfish but I know one day I'm going to move out. We can't live together forever. Not if either of us plan to get married.

I don't have anyone to hook my sister up with.

I can't force her to date online.

What do I do to help her? How do I cope? Am I in the wrong for being affectionate in front of her? I just want my sister to be happy. I want her to meet a great guy and get married and have kids. She wants those things too but I don't know if it will happen if she's lacking confidence and doesn't even belief it can happen anymore. Please help 😳
