A re-write of a different post.

I’ve only met my half-sister twice…

I’ve met her twice in my life, same with speaking to her. I made a Myspace in January and added her on that, but never spoken to her. She lives a couple states away, but I think I should still talk to her over the internet or something.
What would I say? I mean, I know this sounds kinda dumb and all, cause she’s my sister, but I don’t know how to talk to a sister. So has anyone been in this situation? Can anyone tell me what I could say to her? Idk… this seems kinda weird.

Problems with Myspace.com, Friendster or Bebo.com?

Generally speaking, if you are having issues with those sites it is best to contact their support staff directly. These links can get you started:

Myspace Support, Friendster Support and Bebo Support

Well, I don’t think you have to talk to her like she’s your sister. Just ask how she is, what’s she’s doing. Stuff like that. Be friendly :J

How about you make an e-card and tell her you’d like to get to know her better? Put your msn in and invite her to be a contact.

It’s important to realise she may not be comfortable with all this yet. It can be quite traumatic realising you have family you didn’t know.

By sending a cheerful card and letting her take the steps forward, you allow her to feel in control which may be important to her right now.

When she gets in touch.. have some “neutral” questions lined up. Here are some examples..

“hi, I have an essay to write on a famous person.. who do you think I should choose?”

“I’m not sure which shirt to wear to a reunion next week. What do you think? Red or blue?”

“How’s your school/work/hobby going?”

neutral questions are ones that aren’t too personal. They allow you to start a conversation without making someone feel pressured. When you feel more comfortable with each other, the conversation will flow…

Good luck
