Do I take it too far?

[momos]

I have four little sisters who I freaking love to death. While we are not blood related, we are incredibly close nonetheless. I've known them since they were young and now that they're teens, they are noticing boys now.

And it absolutely terrifies me. Now don;t get me wrong; they are all smart, mature and very confidant young women, but, they're my baby sisters so of course I don't like any boy they show the slightest interest in. But lately, I think I'm going a little overboard. When one of them comes to me and mentions a boy they like, I threaten to find him and have a special 'interrogation'. If we're together and some boy checks them out or flirt, a death glare by me sends him running with his tail between his legs.

But it was an incident most recent that made me step back and evaluate how I handle things. One of them is still friends with her summer fling (you know, those summer crushes we've all had). I didn't like it for the simple fact the boy in question is kind of a tool but that aside there was no issue. Until I was perusing Facebook when I notice in my news feed this same kid leaves a huge post on her wall about how awesome and special she is and how cool she is and how they had good times together and they'll still be friends etc etc. Mind you: Just weeks before he had called her saying he wanted to get back with her. So one week he wants to go out again and now she's the most amazing person ever and they should be friends?

I. Went. Ballistic. I was LIVID. To put it succinctly, I said a lot of things I shouldn't have (I'll let you use your imagination) and made a lot of psychotic threats on how badly I would kill this kid if he tried playing with her feelings. Well, my sister got really upset with me and told me she found my over protectiveness really annoying and that it has been bothering her for a while. After a long talk I felt awful and I apologized for hurting her and told her I never mean any harm but because I love her so much I want to do anything to protect her.

So death threats (and a few instances where I had to choke slam some out of line retard) aside, do I take my protectiveness over them too far? I love them, I always will love them and I would sacrifice anything for them. I've seen a lot of ugly and disgusting things in my life when it comes to relationships and I don't want them to ever have to witness or experience what I have but how do I balance being a rightfully protective big bro without being too crazy or over bearing?

Again, we may not be blood related but we are close nonetheless and I cherish them like my own flesh and blood.

This might sound stupid, but:
what i would do is let them be hurt.
yeah, i would warn them a few times, because i've had bad endings too.
but maybe after their first rough ending, they'll start believing you and actually take you seriously..

Aww I like the over protective type hahah c:
But if they're 15 or under you should be protective. Maybe not AS protective, but I'm 14 and all the guys I know are idiots, I see right through all of them xD
But if they're 16 or older, leave them alone a bit, unless you get a bad feeling about them. Just no more death threats....k? xD hahah
