Question Posted Tuesday October 14 2008, 7:03 pm
Sorry a bit long
ok so my Brother has been going out with this girl for over a year now and till this day I havent been able to be friends with her. She acts weird sometimes now Im not saying its all her fault but Ive tried many ways but it just doesnt work out well.
She wont talk to me unless Im the one who talks to her in the first place.. It is sooo hard for me to just start a conversation but I decided to try my hardest in order to talk to her..so I did but it didnt work she only answers what I ask but she doesnt even try to keep the conversation going! When we see each other she wont say Hi unless I say hi. I think she bipolar or something cause like one day she will be all smiles when im around and the next she wont even walk by me.. super rude Sometimes I try to think of the positive side of her but I just cant find a good thing other thatn the fact that my brother is happy. And I feel horrible when I say bad stuff about her but its true..I know its sorta weird that I wanna talk to her but I mean my brother loves her And she makes him happy( or so he says) and I would just love to talk to her. But I dont know wat else to do?? If I wait till she talks to me wow that could never happen but at the same time I think: I already tried my best but wasnt enough
I dont know wat to do plz plz help me
P.S.
please dont say i should ignore her b/c I cant she basically part of my life I see her often N cmon she's my bro's gf
thnx
Have you ever thought of asking your brother if all three of you could hang out sometime and do something together? Alot of times when your doing something active or fun, it will break the ice. None of you have been around each other for any extended period of time to really see each other personalities. Meaning you and your brothers girlfriend, much less included in any thing they do. I would really be straight with your brother and say that you have an interest in getting to know her because he cares for her so much. You would like to see the side of her that he sees. That should help your brother understand more of where you are comming from. Also the way his girlfriend acts towards you sometimes may not even have to do with you personally. His girlfriend may have had a bad day, or maybe she had other concerns on her mind. So I would not take that personal especially since you two dont really know each other yet. I do suggest that all of you try and hang out together and do something fun. With your brother around you should feel more comforable at first. If his girlfriend still does not seem interested in becomming your friend or at least getting to know you, then at least you know you put forth the effert. Your brother will notice too. Thats all you really can do is keep trying. I will say this though, if his girlfriend continues to show no interest in getting to know you or at least try. I would pull her aside one day and say hey? Why are you being this way, I have made every attempt to try to get to know you, and you still act like you dont care. I would then just say I love my brother and you make him happy, I just wanted to know the person he knows. After that its all up to her. I wish you the best of luck, and hope that maybe you guys can all work this out. Your brother is your brother forever, but she may not be around forever. So stay strong and keep trying, you can be proud of the fact that you did everything you could possibly do.

Im not going to say you should ignore her, but you sholdnt stress it so much, if you want you should maybe ask your brother why she doesnt talk much? He'll probably say something to her,or inspire her to open up a little more GOOD LUCK! [ 8ibah04's advice column | Ask 8ibah04 A Question ]
