Question Posted Saturday December 19 2009, 5:38 pm
My first love was a twin and i fell hard for him. Jonathan ended up breaking my heart, and his twin brother Jacob helped me through it all. Now me and Jacob are the best of friends, but theres one problem i'm falling for him. I don't want to be known as the school whore or slut because I dated his twin brother, but I'm in love with him. I don't think I could get over him, he's helped me so much! What should I do?

Causing some awkwardness and so forth.
One thing you have to ask is how Jacob feels about it too; if he can stand being a rival to his brother Jonathan, or if it's going to bother him. Jonathan just might have to suck it up if Jacob feels strongly about you.
Love is a hard thing to walk away from, even when you think about all the consequences. But girl, if it's real, then you two will both have to take a stand together. Jacob will have to reinforce positive comments about how he feels about you.
I also think that you have to make sure that Jacob is not 'just' a rebound guy. With the rebound, it's very very easy to take the goodness from him, that you need because of your break up and misinterpret it, u know what I mean.
Just be clear about it from all aspects, and if it's love, you are not going to care what other people are going to think about you, because they too will eventually see the good relationship you guys are making for yourselves.
Much luck to you! [ WyzeLizzy's advice column | Ask WyzeLizzy A Question ]

Even if so, when it comes to love, the only opinions that matter are of you and Jacob. The only thing is, you have to see if from Jacobs point of view, too. It could really make things awkward with his brother while he's dating you. But if he's the type to not worry about others opinions, then I don't think you gotsta worry(: If you and Jacob start dating, you gotta make sure that no matter what happens, you two will always be there for each other and continue being friends if you guys break up.
Anyhoo, I think you should follow your love instincts with Jacob and persue a relationship with him. [ isearchforwords's advice column | Ask isearchforwords A Question ]

Secondly, don't worry what people at school think. I really don't think they will think badly of you dating Jacob after Jonathan broke your heart. Everyone deserves happiness and I think you are finding it with Jacob. I would say let things progress as they are and you probably are on the way to a great relationship! Good luck!
