Hey im a 15 year old boy from London.my family go away on holiday with 3 other families every year.i get along well with a girl my age in one of the families.i just broke up with my girlfriend cus she had kissed another guy and this friend was really there to help me.shes decent looking and fun to be around,so i am thinking of startin something with her or at least trying to,BUT if things dont work out(which they usually dont at 15) everything will be very awkward.also if our families find out it would be very embarrassing.i cant stop thinking about her so any advice would be appreciated!i just feel lonely since i broke up with my girlfriend and it would be nice to feel wanted by another girl:)

Yes, she's a family friend but you guys are so close that you actually have a better basis and background to start a relationship on than others have. You know each other inside out by now. This has a real shot provided she's interested.
Ask her what she thinks and explain your initial reluctance to approach her about it. I'm sure you'll both be on the same page.
You can't worry about anything falling to crap later either as it's not something you can control either way nor can she but go for it! If it didn't work out I'm sure because of family history you'd always be friendly. It will be fine.
Worry about now and not something that may not happen later. Who knows maybe you'll marry her in several years. If it feels right to you talk to her about it and try things out. She's a better choice as a partner than anyone else would be for you because as I said earlier you know one another inside out by now. Nothing to lose here.

Just because of the situation you are in, since your families see each other 3 times a year, I don't think it would be a very good idea to try and date her. Especially since it doesn't seem like you actually even like her, you just want somewhere there.
Why don't you keep her as a good friend and try and find someone else to date, i'm sure there are plenty other girls your age desperate for a boyfriend.
Don't jump the gun with this girl just because you feel lonely. [ hollisterhottie's advice column | Ask hollisterhottie A Question ]
