Aight, this sounds so much like Harry Potter #6, I'm just gonna call myself Harry, my friend Ron, and hi sister Ginny.
NOTE: I'm not taking anything except for names from the book, everything else is just a coincidence.
So, I've been Ron's friend for 6 years. Nothing wrong with that, we're best friends. Then he has a sister who's a year younger than him. I kinda like her, but not quite entirely. Plus, I'm telling myself that I can't like her, she's Ron's sister! I see her a lot, I go over to Ron's house frequently. She participates in a lot of the activities we do, be it Monopoly or GameCube. I really haven't cared until about two days ago, when I noticed, "Hey, I could spent the rest of my life with this girl!" Problem is, I went back again the following morning, and I realized that she can get kinda spazzy. Very spazzy. But, apart from that, I like her. What should I do, and by the way, don't say "Just go up to her and tell her the truth" or anything like that, I need specifics! How would I do that?

No, just kidding. On a serious note, here's what I think.
You need to first talk to "Ginny." Tell her that you like her, and want to give the 'us' thing a try. Let her know that you don't feel comfortable dating her unless it's okay with her brother, however. He's your best friend and you don't want to lose your friendship.
If "Ginny" likes you, then the two of you should approach "Ron" together. Tell him that you're interested in going out, but that you want to make sure it's okay with him first, because you don't want him to feel torn between his sister and his best friend. Let him know that you want him to be comfortable with it.
If "Ron" says he's okay with it, I say go for it. But if your friend isn't comfortable with the idea of you two in a relationship, I think you should just leave it alone. It's not worth losing your best friend over.

Ask him how he feels about it and maybe his answer will be "No stay away!" but then it's your decision if Ginny means more to you than Ron and you'll have to weigh your options. But if he truly is your friend, he'll want you to be happy and of course he'll want his sister to be happy. But I say figure out your feelings first and deal with Ron first (don't just kiss her in front of him after she wins the match lol) [ Blair's advice column | Ask Blair A Question ]

I say go up to ginny and tell her you like her. ask her out.
the only problem is, you said yourself "i kinda like her, but not quite entirely". if you guys do happen to go out, and you break up with her, how will ron feel about you breaking your sister's heart? [ 0xjennaxheartx0's advice column | Ask 0xjennaxheartx0 A Question ]
