A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

ok.. so I am nineteen and I really like this guy who is 32. I've dated older guys before but this guy happens to be my brothers best friend. My brother is always saying things like "stay away from my sister" and it just makes everything awkward. I just want to tell my brother to shut his face!! I'm a grown woman and can make my own mistakes. I reeeeeeaaally like this guy. He is funny and charming and great. I know he likes me too. He's always flirting but its weird because of my brothers involvement. What should I do????

OK, I'm doing the exact same thing as you right now. I've been sort of dating my brothers best friend for a couple years now but my brother still continues to hate it. It's not fair at all because my brother is dating my best friend too! I say go for it because if you have a connection with this guy then it's always worth a shot.. but chances are your brother is never going to stop thinking it's weird.

Hey thanks for all the advice. The answers were really helpful. I decided to just let him make the first move. I mean I really like him and want to be with him, but I think its up to him. If he thinks it will ruin his friendship with my brother or he thinks its inappropriate or whatever. I'll just let him decide. I'm just gonna live my life and have some fun. Hes so hot though UGH. I'll just have to get over it.

Your brother may not like it... but who you and his friend choose to date is none of his business.

Even if you are dating each other.

I think before u get to into this guy u should listen to what ur brother has to say. He is much older then u and ur brother is probley worried about that part. But if u wanna date him or start something with this guy no matter what anybody says then tell ur brother u thought about it and u like him and not to come between u guys. But its his bestfriend he knows a lot about him and women and all the secret stuff we women never get to hear! And that will bug Ur brother and maybe even brake a friendship. So good luck and think about it.

I say if you really like this guy, go ahead and ask him out. Tell your brother what you said here, you're a grown woman and can do what you want with whoever you want, and so can his friend. If you want to tell your brother to butt out, then do that. But let me ask you this, would you be OK if your brother dated your BFF or another one of your girlfriends? How would you feel if some of your girlfriends were saying they think your brother is hot and they'd love to have sex with them? Would you be OK with that? Cuz that is basically what your brother is going through.
