Should I just settle for being his friend?

Question - (24 June 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 25 June 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi! I havr gotten in to a quite strange and difficult situation. About 3-4 months ago I met my big brother's girlfriend's little brother at a bar. We were talking for ours and had so much fun getting to know each other. We later exchanged phone numbers but only because we said that we were going to "wingman" each other. Because already then we had said that we could never try anything on each other because of our siblings.

We are both out partying very often and everytime we're out, which is like every weekend, we call or text each other so that we can meet up later. Whenever we meet we spend all night talking with each other and we most often ditch our friends to be together. We've gotten really close and we know everything about each other now. But there is one thing he doesn't know. Something my friends have kept on saying but I have not dared to admit it until now. That is that I have started to develop strong feelings towards him. I think I might be in love with him. The other day I saw him make out with this hot blonde and that really hurt me. But later he ditched the girl to go and talk to me and we hung out like always for the rest of the night. I really wanted to tell him then but I don't think I could. We are both really close with our siblings so it would be too weird. And if he doesnt feel the same it would be too awkward and I would ruin everything. But I actually think that he might feel something to because he always compliments me and says things like "I can't believe you don't have a boyfriend" and "there can't be anyone who doesn't like you". What do you think I should do? Should I say something to him and put everything on steak? I mean, I could loose him all together and I could also lose my close relationship with my brother and his girlfriend. Or should I just settle for being his friend? t

I feel this boy has an interest in you,but you will never know if you do not tell him how you feel,okay you will feel dissapointed if he does not feel the same,but you should not feel awkward ,just say that's fine and you hope you can stay friends,and move on with your life,I ameure your brother and his girlfriend would be happy for you both if you did get together .Give it a try you have to find out how he feels.

Good luck hope it works out for you.

You would be doing nothing wrong if you were to go out with him. There’s no reason why something could never happen if you wanted it to. Your relationship with this person is entirely separate from that of your brother and his girlfriend, and if everyone gets on there’s no reason why either your brother or his girlfriend should be unhappy about it. Tell him how you feel about him and ask him how he feels, make sure you explain that, no matter what, you don’t want to lose him as a friend.

I wish you all the very best.
