what about you and your heart?? you talked about everyone's feelings but yours!!!

whom are you in love with? that should be your main concern.

second of all, your friend should have nothing to do with this, it is not he right to be pissed of, if you do not like/love he brother... she has to respect your decisions and support you.

third of all, how can it be so easy for you to consider breaking your lover's heart?

you should find answers to these questions and then make up your mind.

Look and I am not trying to be patronising here but does this guy actually love you? if he does and you are sure do you love him back? If you do you have to choose between them, but i would suggest that your friend might be the better bet because, she has probably been there for you through thick and thin.

justme..x agony auntHey :-) That must be hard. I'm sorry you're confused ... hopefully my opinion and input will help a bit? xxx

Well, it depends how YOU feel about her brother. If you don't want to be with him, then just let him down gently. If you do, then I think you should go for it, and I hope you'll be happy together!

That conclusion may sound harsh on your friend, but the reason I say it is that I think she's being overdramatic and rather childish. In short, she overreacted: She ALREADY doesn't want to ever talk to you again (supposedly) just because she found out about her brother's feelings for you. If she doesn't want to be friends with you while you two are together - then that's her problem.

Sorry that was a bit blunt! But that's what I think :)

I hope it works out, let me know -xxxxx-

Woah, never EVER date your best friends siblings. That just breaks the whole trust issue.

All I can say is 'sisters before misters.'

Your friend was there before her brother, so you should choose her. I'm sure he can move on and find someone else.

Honest_Answers agony auntShe's pissed off because it's her brother and it's difficult to think about you two having something between you. You said that he likes you - do you like him?! If you do really like him your friend will come to terms with it if she's a true friend - you've done nothing wrong.
