idyllicyouth Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 First of all my brother is 4 years my elder, he is now 24 and I am turning 20 soon, his best friend is currently 23. Over the past year or two my brother and I have gotten a lot closer, though our friends aren't the same they all get along. I've developed feelings for his best friend, my friends and my brother's girlfriend have all suggested that we constantly flirt. My brother knows my feelings, maybe not the extent of them, and is not bothered by it at all. We text an average amount, never anything out of the ordinary, but also never talking about my brother. Also, he is basically part of my family he eats dinner here all the time, and came to a baseball game with my parents and I because my brother hates baseball. I have no idea what to do, I'm pretty sure the feelings are mutual but I believe I will have to make the first move because he doesn't know how my brother will feel. I have no idea how to tell him. HELP!!
bean1 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 If your brother is fine with you guys dating, then I'd say go for it. Your brother would be upfront with you over whether or not the guy was a good person.
Girlygal Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 i married my bros best friend so this hits home for me. Like you and him we were unsure how my brother would react, and were a bit nervous about it. Actually thinking about it i have to laugh because the first time he tried to kiss me i yelled at him and told him my brother might kill him if he did. After a few days he asked my brother if it would be ok if we dated and it was the best decision ever!! 6 years later going strong and i think having that family friendship has made it all the better! GOOD LUCK!
