15/f
i'm in a very difficult situation. my best friend is a guy, he's my age, and i have known him my entire life. he truly is like a brother to me. we went to grade school together, grew up together, and now we go to different high schools, but we're still good friends. recently, i started talking to his brother more. his brother is an 8th grader, and he was considering coming to the high school that i go to. we got to be very close over the past few months. i started to have feelings for him, even though i know i shouldn't. he's an extremely smart and sweet guy, and a perfect gentleman. he's honestly more mature than his older brother. he just turned 14. about 3 days ago, he told me that he likes me. so i told him i liked him too. we've literally been talking nonstop since, only stopping to sleep. but i'm afraid if i do anything about this, i'm either going to hurt his older brother, my best friend, or i'm going to get hurt bc of the age difference. help me?

If you are 15 dating a 25 year old then yes that would be a problem not only would that be illegal but disgusting also. However, you are 15 and he is 14 years old so no there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you like him and he likes you then why not try it out? I know you feel like you might hurt your best friend but dear at the same time you'd like to think he had plenty of time to express himself don't you think? Try talking to him let him know how you are feeling, If anything he should be happy for you. Communication is the key and it is also apart of a great relationship. Try talking to your friend and see how it goes. You never know what you are missing unless you try. [ OhMyLucyDarling's advice column | Ask OhMyLucyDarling A Question ]

Second thing is you should ask your best friend how he feels about you talking to his brother. It might weird him out or bother him and its up to you to continue talking after that. Honestly though, your relationships should have nothing to do with who your friends with, its not there business or anything. Sure he might make it his buisness but if you truly like this boy then you should go for it [ MissYMelisS's advice column | Ask MissYMelisS A Question ]
