I'm 15 years old and I am in love with my best friend's brother who is 18. I know that it's probably horrible to like someone with that much age difference, but it's so hard not to. He is my ideal guy and always makes me feel better than anyone else. We are really close and I can always talk to him about things and we make each other laugh all the time. I really want to tell him I like him, but I feel like I will be ruining the friendship. I would never want to do that because I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I'm not sure how he would react and if he likes me. He always says how funny I am and a couple months ago he said I was one of the most amazing girls in the world. He still treats me like I"m just a really good friend though. It's hard for me to realize how he feels about me...and I'm really not sure. I don't know if I should keep quiet...or say something.
First of all you have to consider your best friend, because when I told my best friend I liked her brother she freaked out! However, your friend might be a little nicer lol. If she doesnt already know then it could be best to tell her about your feelings first because she will obviously know her brother better than most.
Second thing is the age gap. Personally, in matters of the heart, I think age doesnt play a part. Its only 3 years, and it sounds to me like you both get on really well. The only problem is, is that other people dont share our views and would see it as a very big problem, and especially parents. So before considering this relationship, take on board others feelings else you could create quite a situation for yourself.
You say that he still treats you like a friend? It sounds like a lot more going on there than a friendship. Some of the tell tale signs of him really like you are:
*Looking at you and then looking away when your meet eyes.
*Offering to do little, unimportant things for you.
*Putting kisses at the end of texts. *Not being able to make eye contact for too long in conversation (occasionally looking downwards or to the side.)
If he thinks your one of the most amazing girls he has ever met its a bit of a give-away that he likes you. But he has got to think of the age difference also so he may not be willing to say, and also for the sake of his sibling who is your best friend. But it does sound to me like you have a very strong friendship, so I think you should tell him how you feel else you will just regret it. You could also ask him little question like, Who would be your perfect girlfriend and subtle things like that because it could lead to a very pleasing answer. Good luck honey and please let me no how everything goes! L.x.charli.x.l@hotmail.co.uk, if you want anymore info or just want to chat then add me, I'm usually always online xoxoxox??
