I don't know if I should date him or not as he's practically family!

Question - (13 February 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 18 February 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm honestly not sure how to go about my situation.

I've been hanging out with a guy that I've fallen in love with over the past year.. I haven't told him, because I simply don't want to weird him out.

Why? Well, he's not technically family. However, my parents include him as family. See, my uncle's girlfriend, who he has lived with for 38 years, is his grandma...

We spend the nights together in the same bed, hang out all the time, always hugging each other, and playing around..I consider it flirty, I don't know if he does..sometimes it seems so.

Just really mixes with my feelings, I know it doesn't look right, but I'm unsure if I should tell him, or just ignore how I feel. It's become real hard.

Nandos17 agony auntYou do have a bit of an issue - though not blood related, it could make family gatherings rather awkward. Which I can understand!

Though as I've said, hes not blood related. Its not illegal, its not wrong as such. And if it gets to a point where you could end up the rest of your life with him, your family would've got used to the idea.

This is of course, assuming he likes you too. Because you like him obviously everything good that comes out of your socialising is going to seem like he likes you. After a year of liking him, if you feel like you can't get over him, I suggest you do try and tell him. It says your 18-21 and - assuming hes of a similar age - you should both be able to deal with it maturely. If he says no because he may find it too awkward, then at least you know that you have to get over him instead of holding onto something that may never happen.

Just weigh up whether you could get over him if you feel thats the right thing to do and if you can't, then just tell him.
