My Brother's Best Friend.
I asked this question about three days ago and nobody answered it yet and since you are the advice giver being promoted, I thought I'd ask you personally (:
I am 17, female. My brother is 20, his friend is 20, almost 21. Let me start off by saying, I don't even know if he asked me out if I would say yes because I don't think I could do that to my brother. So, for starters, me and my brother's friend are close, I call him my second brother because he is over all the time. Sometimes he comes over when my brother isn't home from work yet and he'll watch tv with me until my brother comes home. My aunt, who lives in Maryland, came home to visit and met this friend and winked at me and told me to date him, my mom told my brother's friend (much to my anger) and my mom said he hesitated and then said "i'm to old for her". The last thing that had happened, my brother's girlfriend just had a big party for her 20th birthday. My brother's friend doesn't drink for personal reasons. About a week before the party, the friend was asking me to go to the party so he can hold a sober conversation. I agreed and we hung out and talked a lot at the party. I then realized I had stayed two hours after curfew, so I called my mom and she said it was fine, so I stayed for cake with everyone and my brother asked his friend if he could drive me home and he smiled and said "oh yea, that's no problem at all" so he drove me home from the party around 3 am. As I was getting out of the car, he said "I'll see you on Sunday for the grad party, right? Keep me company?" (it's his cousin's grad party who is also my neighbor so we will both be attending). Today is, I believe, 1 week and 2 days after the party and him driving me home. Things have been weird. He used to always come in the house and say hello to me and ask how I am doing. He has been over five times since the party and hasn't said hello to me once. I'm not sure if I did anything to piss him off so I haven't said anything to him either. What do you think is going on? Do you think he likes me and that' why he got awkward? Thanks! (This just happened last night, he was over at my house with my brother and he was standing outside of my brother's room as I left the bathroom with just a towel on and he said "oh hey!" I found it weird that he wasn't awkward then and he didn't even try to go into my brother's room so he wouldn't see me, he just kept put).

I don't remember seeing this question. Then agaain it is not the type I generally answer.
I see two problems here neither of which has anything to do with this person being your brothers friend. I really don't think that is a problem and it should not be if your brother trusts this guy.
The real problem here is your age difference, at least for another year. Now this varies from state to state. But in many states you are under the age of consent and you are still considered a child since you have not reached the age of 18. In my younger days we would consider you by a term we used as; "Jail Bait," for there is a Law known as "Statutory Rape. No sex has to be involved but someone 4 years older than you dating you can be in a whole lot of legal trouble for doing so. This may be the reason behind his not asking you out.
As for the other things you write about I really can't speak to them as I have no insight into them. Maybe your brother said something or someone else said something to him. I really cannot give you a reason for his actions.
You might try talking to your brother .
