ok...i met one of my best friends like 3 years ago and she has a brother who's years older than me.(he's 16 now)When I met him, i was young and stupid and he's hott so naturally i fell for him and fell hard. neways, not much happened durring the year i liked him(yes i think it was a whole year) but now that im completely over him he acts all jelous and protective of me. i used to be able to convince myself that that's only because im his little sister's best friend so maybe he sees me more as a little sister but now im starting to think otherwise. i go on vavation w/ them every year for 2 weeks and this past year things were akward between us.i dont even know if he ever liked me at all but i just cant help thinking about it...what do you think?
Oh what a sticky situation you are in my dear. It is always tough to seek affection from another older mate.
It seems to me you and this family are very close. You are right to wonder whether these protective feelings this boy has over you are romantic or friendly. In either case it's nice of him to worry so much about you.
But I have to wonder.. Does he give you any other signs to make you think he may have a thing for you? Does he openly flirt with you?
Im not sure exactly what is going through this boys mind. But of course you know there is only one way to find out. Im sure you know that already. If you really cannot stand not knowing whether or not he has feelings for you then be my guest and ask.
But I should warn you, It could be very possible he is only seeing you as a second little sister. And also keep in mind, that if something should happen between the two of you, it is not likely to sit well over with your best friend. She may not like the idea of her best friend and brother dating. It could cause quite a bit of family drama. So be careful.
My advice? Try quizing him. Mention you have a new boy in your life. Tell him he's fantastic and watch his reaction. Does he automatically think badly of the boy? Does he suggest you be with someone better, when he obviously doesnt know anything about this boy?
As Ive always said, it is better to know the truth then to be left wondering. If you cannot find out his true feelings from the quiz you give him then you might as well ask. If hes as nice a guy as he sounds Im sure you have nothing to worry about.
