hiiiii :) 18, female. SORRY SO LONG! i'll give back to those who take the time to read this.
i'm friends with this guy, and i have liked him for the longest time. well we're really close, i tell him everything. my cousin is his neighbor and i'm like best friends with my cousin so i'm always over there and thats actually how i met this guy like 4 years ago! well i really want his family to like me, but it's a weird situation. he has 4 other brothers and sisters, three sisters, and one brother, all younger. the youngest is the girl and she is like 5 and she absolutely loves me, everytime i go to my cousins and she is outside she will run over and give me the biggest hug. the other girl, well everyone thinks she is annoying. she is probably about 9 and i'm like the only one nice to her so she really does like me. the boy is like 10 and i joke around with him all the time, i'm pretty sure he likes me too! the problem is with the oldest sister. she is 14 and a freshman in high school. i've never talked to her before. i think it would be weird if i was like hey jamie! because she doesn't really know me and she would be like um, hey, why are you talking to me? because i've seen her alot before but i just pay attention to the younger ones because they always come see me so she doesn't really know me and she is quiet. i know one of her friends and one time her friend came and gave me a hug and started talking to me when i was outside at my cousins, and she just stood in their driveway staring at us. the other time i was talking to her friend, she came with but didn't say anything. the parents i also feel weird around. i've only been to his house like once by myself and that was at like 11:30 at night and everyone else was sleeping and we were downstairs on the couch cuddling and he was like we have to be quiet because they think jake (my cousin) is over here too. and he was like if someone comes down, i'm going to sit on the other couch. i feel like he is ashamed of me or something, like he is scared to tell his parents that i'm so close with him for some reason. they just think that we're aquaintances and say like hey when i see him outside or something but that's not it at all. they just think of me as jake's cousin. jake is the same age as this guy, so they're close friends they have known each other pretty much their whole life. this guy has been to my house alot of times, my family loves him but i think he lies to his parents about coming over here, like he will say he is going somewhere else and i just don't get it. and if i asked him about it i know he would be like, don't worry about it. his parents have seen me outside talking to their daughters and stuff, but they don't really say anything to me and it would be too awkward talking to them because i've seen them so many times now that it's like we know who each other are, but just never say anything. i also feel like i want his family to like me because he's only had one girlfriend, and he was going out with her for like two years so i always feel like i have to be better than her, and want his family to like me more than her. i know his oldest sister didn't really like her that much because she was over EVERYDAY and she got annoyed of it so i feel like if she likes me, i'll be happy and the other brothers and sisters adored his ex girlfriend. if me and this guy did end up going out though i think it would be weird with his parents, since im 18, and he is turning 17 in like two months. i honestly don't care about the age difference at all, it's like a year and a half difference but i feel like they would be like "why are you going out with an older girl" and they wouldn't like it, at all. this guys ex goes and watches the kids all the time when someone is not home, so i know that his parents still love her and really trust her. i just don't know what to do. how can i become closer with his family without being in an awkward position. any advice would be appreciated thanks so much.
