Question Posted Saturday September 9 2006, 3:21 pm
first of all, i am 14, and my brother and his friend are 15
K well my brother and this kid named jon have been best friends for 5 years right... and ever since i first saw jon there was something there, sparks, firworks, love at first sight! what ever you feel like calling it... and well we both liked eachother from then on and then about 1 year ago we went out for 6 months, but it was a secret becuse i knew my brother wouldnt aprrovew, well then he found out and i jon and me ended up braking up (not because we didnt like eachother, but because of mybrother) see, jon is the kind of guy who wants his girlfriends parents to like him and aproove and all, and well to say the least, my parents did not like him. an dhim and my brother quite talking and practicaly hated eachother. And now, about 1 year after we broke up, we have been talking and he still likes me and i still like him! i guess my question is should i go with my love?? or should i respect my brother and not go out with jon?

If you love him, no one should stand in your way, not even ur brother. Your brother will grow to understand that love is love and that feeling never goes away. So if u love him like you say you do, go out with him, before some one else gets the chance to relize how amazing he is, and forgets you [ quackducks's advice column | Ask quackducks A Question ]

But in all honesty, I would completely follow your heart. Have a conversation with your brother and tell him that you're sorry if he doesn't approve, but you cannot help the way that you feel and that you don't want to disrespect him but YOU want to be happy, and that means being with Jon. I'm sure that he won't be happy about it, but he will eventually get used to it.
I'm sure he's acting this way because you are his little sister and he feels that he has to be the over protective brother. In a way, I wish my brother were like that. My older brother does not give a damn about what I do, who I date, etc.
But if you find happiness with this boy, go for it. If it makes you happy then do it.
Your next issue is your parents... You can't disrespect your parents by dating him if they don't care for him. Maybe you should talk to them and tell them that if they really sat down and talked to him that they'd see he's a really great guy.
