There’s no guidebook to being a brother with a younger sister. The guy in this story thought he did a good job.

See why his sister thought differently.

AITA for sitting on the other side of the coffee shop during my sister’s first date?

I have a 14 year old sister, whom we’ll call Abigail for the sake of this post.

Abigail has her first ever boyfriend, so of course she went on her very first date recently.

The date seemed to be successful, but there was a problem.

She asked me if I could drive them to the coffee shop, and I said yes. I drove them there, and then went and sat on the other side of the place.

I didn’t talk to them once, except for when I had to pay for their drinks/snacks. As soon as the boyfriend was out of the car after we dropped him off, Abigail started getting upset with me.

Unfortunately, the hard feelings have not passed.

Apparently I embarrassed her in front of this guy by sticking around and apparently she’s “Not a baby and doesn’t need a big brother to protect her.”

I am now getting the silent treatment from Abigail.

Here is what folks are saying.

It can be awkward!

Aw. That’s nice.

Yikes!

But she can go to the mall by herself.

I agree, but it’s not an awful thing.

He could have done something far more embarrassing.
