Mackenzie answered Saturday June 4 2005, 5:07 am: This may seem kind of lame and unhelpful: but you Really should just talk to heR. Just ask foR heR feelings on the situation. If you ask me, it's the best way to go about this. Make shoRe to let heR know how you feel foR him, and how much being with him would mean to you. Definitely infoRm heR that you'Re ASKING heR, because you want heR to be comfoRtable with the idea of you and he togetheR. Also, be shoRe to let heR know that heR blessing would be VERY much appReciated. [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

Vassalisa answered Friday June 3 2005, 1:57 pm: Friends are pretty much always going to be more important than guys. So unless you REALLY like this guy and think it could be something worthwhile, I would look elsewhere. If your feelings for him seem like they are so much you can't miss the chance, then talk to your friend before you do anything, and really listen to how she feels.

hailebop answered Friday June 3 2005, 1:41 pm: The best way to find out how your friend feels is to talk to her about it. If you think she might react badly, test the waters before confessing you have feelings for him by asking if he's seeing anyone. If she doesn't like the idea of him dating anyone (older siblings are often suprisingly protective of younger siblings, even ones they don't particuarly get along with), then she's not going to want him dating you either.
I would say that even if your friend is okay with you dating her brother, proceed with caution. You haven't said how old you are, but if all of the people involved are still living with family, which I assume they are, then you have to take into account how having a relationship with this guy would affect your relationship with your friend should things ever go wrong in your relationship with her brother, and if they live together, it will make things akward between you and your friend for a while. Would you really want to feel you couldn't go round to your best friend's house in a years time because you'd feel akward around her brother? And if things are okay, do you think you'd feel weird going around to your best friends house but not to hang out with her? Be honest with yourself. If you think he's such a great guy that it's worth the risk, then have an honest conversation with your friend before doing so, but you may accept that perhaps the odds are just stacked against this particular relationship for now. All the best. [ hailebop's advice column | Ask hailebop A Question ]
queenbianca2004 answered Friday June 3 2005, 1:19 pm: Wow I had the same problem twice!!!
First you need to talk to your best friend. Let her know how you feel about him. And if shes ok with it let him know next
Secondly if you start dating do not start to drop your friend Boyfriends are great but friends are forever. So like if you want to be alone, go aon a date bc trust me I went to my bfs house and I was with her bro doing....
stuff and she got so angry with me.
So dont forget her bc if yall break up sdhe will still be there. Well I hope I helped you
jbdreamer answered Friday June 3 2005, 12:27 pm: If you want to stay friends I would stay away from her brother. You don't want to put yourself between them. Not only will you hurt your relationship with your friend, you will hurt the realationship between them as well. They either will always be fighting for your attention, or your friend will hate you for trading her in for her brother. If she were good friends with her brother, then you could ask what she thought. But seeing as she hates him, I think having a relationship with him would only cause a lot of trouble.

lilaquidas18 answered Friday June 3 2005, 12:27 pm: Well I think that you should talk to her friend about it first and see how she feels about it because she might get the reaction that you just come over to see her brother instead of her.And if she says that she doesnt want you to date her brother then you should respect that because guys will come and go but your friends will always be there for you.You wouldnt want to lose your friendship with her over her brother. So just talk to her about it and see what you all can work out.. Hope I helped. [ lilaquidas18's advice column | Ask lilaquidas18 A Question ]
