Ask her questions about herself so you can get an idea of what her interests are. You might find that you have something in common (besides her brother/your boyfriend)! For example, ask things like “What do you do for fun?” or “What are you studying in college?”

Do your best to be polite, but you may need to minimize your time around her if she acts hostile or unfriendly to you. If her behavior is creating problems in your relationship, have an honest talk with your boyfriend about it. Let him know how you feel in a calm, non-judgmental way, and ask him if he can set better boundaries with his sister.

It can be a nice gesture to get your BF’s sister a gift for her birthday or a major holiday. If you don’t know her well enough to know her tastes, ask your boyfriend what she likes. For instance, if she’s a sports fan, she might like a poster of her favorite team. If you’re still not sure, go for something that’s bound to please just about anyone, like a little box of chocolates or a nice coffee mug.

If you truly can't find anything to talk about, try to ask her about memories she has with your boyfriend when he was little. You can also ask her to show you some of her hobbies so that you can become interested in them. Stay open and try new things to bond with your boyfriend's sister.
