Question Posted Wednesday December 24 2008, 12:14 pm
I've been seeing this guy for a few months now. He wants me to come with him to his brother's house this weekend to watch a game with him, his brother, and a bunch of his brother's friends. So basically it'll be me and a bunch of guys, plus maybe his brother's wife.
Here's the dilemma: This guy that I'm seeing is four years older than me. I'm 18 and he's 22. In the beginning we were both skeptical about the age thing but now it makes no difference to us. I've already met his parents and his friends and they are all really nice and seem to be fine with the age thing.
I've never met his brother before but I know that they very close with each other. His brother is 30 so most of the guys who will be there will be around that age. I am just going to feel SO YOUNG and out of place. I dred them asking me what school I go to and me having to tell them I'm still in high school.
On the other hand, I think it says a lot that he wants me to meet his brother and wants to bring me to this "gathering". I feel that if I didn't go i might regret it. Basically I just don't want to feel awkward or unaccepted. I don't know what to think, say, or what on earth to wear.

You're boyfriend really wants you to meet his brother, and that's a big thing for him, since he's so important to him. [ fortylove's advice column | Ask fortylove A Question ]

But for that I'm sure your bf's brothers wife is gonna feel the same. Chill with her! And if not then you always have your bf to hang with. What to wear. You want a good impression but you don't want to look like your trying to make a good impression so no skirts or boots. Tight jeans and flats and sneakers or something and then a tight top or semi tip top with a tiny bit low cut. Hahaha. Hope I helped. [ Girlie14's advice column | Ask Girlie14 A Question ]
