BFF's brother?


Question Posted Tuesday December 5 2006, 5:57 am

My best friend's brother just got out of a four year relationship on Friday. He immediatley jetted off with his buds for the weekend to clear his head because -she- dumped him.
I've been friends with his sister for about four years too and I've been attracted to him but I've told myself to leave it alone because he seemed so happy with his girl friend.
Now he's alone for the first time and I was wondering whether it was a good idea if I gave him a go? He's a genuinely nice guy and he's a girls dream because he's so sweet and dedicated.
One problem is his sister. She shares all her feelings about him with me (i.e. she was mad at him because he was a tight a-- or she was sick of him and she wanted him to move out) and she loves him but would it be too weird for her if we hooked up.
Secondly, I need to actually figure out if he's interested or not but I can't because I've treated him as a brother. I've never actually made a transition from friend to something else before. Usually, men are either platonic friends or hot male friends I want to get with, never both. So how can I start changing the way act around him without freaking his entire family out?
I don't want to approach the sister and ask for her permission if I don't even know if he's interested because she likes to hold on to things. At the same time, I don't want to get him interested and then have to ask her in case she rejects the idea of him and me.
Help?

Ok.. well.. First of all its not up to your friend who you love or like or who you go out with! Brother or not!

As you said he's just come out of a 4 year relationship so don't move too fast! Because she dumped him he might still have feelings for her!

It sounds like you already know him quiet well so it wouldn't be weird for you two to be alone? right?

Well next time your alone, take advantage of it. Just move slowly though.. Give him the indication that YOUR SINGLE TOO!!!!! But don't get too close if you think him and his ex might get back together.. you don't want to get hurt!

As for your friend.. once you have spoken to this guy.. talk to her about it! Tell her how you feel, if she's your friend she will be happy and she will understand! Don't let her ruin a good thing for you!

Hope I helped :)

Dear Reader,
Wow, quite a situation right there. If your best friend is really your best friend then she'd want yout to be happy. Talk to her about it and let her know how you feel. Second, signs of himliking you is when he's constantly smiling, or offering to do things, or if he's flirting back and stuff. And don't act strange, be yourself. Because if you change urself just so he'll be attracted to you, then they'd think that ur weird. Which you dont seem to be. Good luck and let me know how things turn out.
Sincerly,
Lisa xox
