I like my big brother's best friend!! What do I do!? Im so c
Question Posted Monday January 1 2007, 10:55 pm
I really like one of my brother's best friends but I'm thirteen - a girl - and he just turned sixteen, and to him I'm probably just some little, immature kid,I'm in 8th grade and he's in 10th. My friends always tease me about it too because he's not hot but he's not ugly either he's just cute. But I don't really care about his looks, I only like him for his personality. Anyway, I want to tell my brother or him that like him but I'm afraid he'll just laugh at me or make fun of me. What should I do?!? You're a guy, what would you do if some little thirteen year old asked you out when you were sixteen?

Ok, the age difference is significant. Three years at your age means quite a lot. I cant say with certainty how i would have reacted at that age, but I think in most cases I would have said no.
However, being 13 has changed quite a lot since i was a kid. Back then 13 year olds were more child like then they are now... a lot more actually. I mean this both physically and mentally. So its hard for me to say how a guy might react today.
Talking to your brother is probably the best idea, unless he is the protective type that would react badly to the whole idea. Just make sure he can keep his mouth shut (most teens cant).
If you approach the guy, there is the risk that he might laugh or not take you seriously, but if he is a nice guy I dont think thats how he will react. However, you should keep in mind that if he says no, things will be a bit awkward around the house when he comes to see your brother. You can also assume that in 90% of cases he will tell his friends as well (not neccessarily to make fun of you, but he will very likely talk about it).
I see you are no better off than before you asked this question. Sorry about that. The reality is that you will be taking a risk approaching him. Thats unavoidable. Whether or not its worth it, and whether or not he will react in an immature way, you have to evaluate based on his personality. All I can say is that the odds are stacked against you in my opinion.
