my crushes brother


Question Posted Wednesday August 1 2007, 10:52 pm

Ok so my crushes brother is about to tell me he likes me, and he doesn't know that I already know since he's so bad at keeping shut with a secret now I really don't want him to like me more than a friend because then my crush will obviously find out and then will respect his brothers feelings and stop flirting, talking, etc with me how do I turn him down nicely without sounding mean and still keep our friendship?

Oooh, sticky situation! It's hard enough to find out the girl you like has feelings for someone else... but when it's your own brother she likes, it can feel even worse! It's almost certain to cause some hard feelings between the brothers.

Let me ask you this: does your crush know you like him, and do you know whether or not he likes you back?

If you're pretty confident that you and your crush are going to end up together soon, then you will need to tell his brother about your feelings. Sure, it will be uncomfortable, but he's going to find out anyway, so it's best to be up front about it. Or, you could just tell him that you like someone else, but don't say who... and let your crush be the one to break it to him.

However... if you're not sure yet whether your crush actually likes you, then I think it'd be best NOT to tell the brother who you like. Just tell him that you really like him as a friend, but that's all. Then, if you and your crush don't end up together, at least you'll have spared the guy the feeling of being outdone by his brother. And if you and your crush do end up together, then the two of you can discuss how to handle the situation.

Tell it like it is. Say that you think that he is a really great guy and that you love being friends with him, but that you have a crush on his brother. If you don't tell him that you like his brother, then he is going to feel betrayed when he finds out. Leave everything out in the open. If you don't, then you can never have a relationship with your crush, because of his brother. If this guy really likes you, and you come clean about your crush, he will assure his brother that it is okay to date you.

Good Luck.

Just let him down lightly tell him that you really like him as a friend and you wouldn't want to jepardized the friendship that yall have. If he's not good at keeping things to himself its a possibility that he has already told "your crush". Dont sweat it though if your crush really likes you he want let some little crush his brother has affect yalls relationship.
