Viking Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Recently my brother was over at a BBQ at my house and one of my girlfriend's friends was there. The moment my brother walked into the room my girlfriend's friend told my gf that she "wanted to marry him", which obviously means she found him attractive, even if it is a mild over exaggeration . Anyway, they ended up exchanging numbers and had been talking with one another for the past month or so. Fast forward through her grandpa passing away and them hanging out twice (my brother lives in our hometown, which strangely is where this girl is from originally), so he is about 2.5 hours away. The last time he was visiting her (I am out of state for an extended period of time but he stayed at my house), they had a chill dinner out and she had to leave town the next day so it was an early night. Everything had been going well so far between the two of them. Friendly, getting to know one another and just feeling out where the other person was in life. This girl had just gotten out of a relationship a little while ago and isn't ready to spring into anything. My brother told her that he was not looking for a relationship at the moment but wanted to see where things between them went. She agreed and said the same thing. However, my brother then blurted out, "But I thought you wanted to date me!" He also said that he had given this girl's Facebook profile address to his ex-gf (controlling, now married, has a child, awful piece of trashy garbage) so she could offer him "advice". Now, this obviously weirded the girl out (understandably so) and she basically told my girlfriend that she was no longer interested in my brother. Fair enough I thought. However, what I was hoping to find out is, is there any kind of way that this situation could be remedied or mitigated? Is my brother SOL due to just being kinda awkward? Also, what is the best way to get him to stop talking to his overly controlling ex-gf and start making progress toward new women? He seems to be stuck in letting this trashy ex-gf run his life while she is married, has a kid and lives 3 hours away. Any advice would be appreciated. I enlisted my gf to help talk to him as he won't listen to me (for some reason he won't listen to his family). Thank you!
