What does it mean when a guy has a close relationship with his sister?

This guy I've been dating for a year and has a sister a couple years younger than him. He takes her out to dinner, buys her clothes, phones.. and always watches out for her.. talks about her etc. He says he practically raised her.. both of their parents are in their lives by the way.. I understand that he loves his sister and it's the right thing to watch/care for his sister, but they never fight like siblings would.. And idk I always see other siblings fight.. And he treats her like a girlfriend. Is there a possibility that he subconsciously likes her as more than a friend. I mean I've seen blogs on tumblr about fathers being attracted to their daughters and having fantasies of having sex with them etc.. I definitely feel threatened by their relationship, but I do not make it apparent ... Despite the fact that it makes me uncomfortable. I know there is nothing I can do about this situation, but I just wanna know what it means.

    My sister and I were kind of in a same type of relationship since our mother was in the hospital most of our lives and our father worked a lot.

    She was a year to a year and a half younger depending on when our birthdays fell during the year. We ere best friends forever and always went places and did everything together. We rarely fought with each other and could talk about anything and everything. . I don't know what it would be like to not have her around.

    I wish you good luck with your boyfriend.

    They are probably just best friends. My older brother helped me buy my car...treating your family well is not that unusual... you should not feel threatened by their relationship and I actually think it's ridiculous how some siblings feel the need to have relentless amounts of conflict. From what I observe, people who treat their families well usually end up treating their spouses well, so be happy that you have a boyfriend who is kind.
