okay so i'm a 14/f, and i'm really into my best friends brother. they are step brother and sister, so they are the same age and in the same school, since they live together. her brother and i talk, and we don't like each other, but we just both think each other is attractive. my friend is getting very angry at the fact that i talk to her brother. i don't see why she is so mad - but she is almost forcing us to not talk to him. how can i confront her about this? i really want to continue talking to him and just treat him as another one of my friends - but my best friend is telling me that i'm going to far. what can i do to help the situation?

You may even get her step brother to talk to her too. I'm sure in the end you'll all be fine. And if you must try to hang out with her step brother on your own time and with out her. But not all the time because then she might think you are ditching her.
Michele answered Monday June 6 2005, 8:03 pm: Well I can't tell you what to do, but I will tell you how your friend may feel. She is very aware that this boy is her step brother, they are not really related by blood. But she has been raised to believe that they are step brother and sister do not like each other in any way other than brother and sister. (THe reason for this is it makes the parents feel better.)
So she may feel, that if she can't have him, she doesn't want any of here friends to go out with him. If a good friend of hers dated her brother she would get to learn more about him that maybe she wants to know. I would suggest that you be a person of character and respect your friends wishes. Eventually she will believe that you are not after him and she will relax and you will at least be able to acknowlege each other (you and the step brother) without her having a fit. Also, she may grow out of it.
