I am 25 years old and I like this girl that is also 25 years old. I would like to ask her out but there is one problem.

Her brother, who is 21 years, is one of my best friends. We played football in high school (I was a senior and he was a freshman) and that how we met. We go hunting, fishing, tubing, camping, and other stuff together. I would not want to risk losing our friendship. Our friendship is too important for me to lose it.

So what are your thoughts?

I wanted to give everybody an update. After reading the responses and thinking it over, I decided NOT to ask her out. I decided our friendship is too important to risk it by dating his sister.

Then just forget her dude. Really you have a good friend for life in that guy. Someone who always has your back, a person that will help you overcome the things in life that are too much for you to handle on your own.

Bro's before ho's, never do anything to compromise that. Ex-girlfriends, sisters, mothers and girls that he's got it bad for are off limits and always will be.

You have a crush that's it. Find another girl to crush on or date. The fact that she's attractive and a nice girl make you like her. But it's more the fact you see her so often that's given you this crush add the fact you can't have her to that and you like her even more. You must never act on it.

Let me just add even if he was okay with you dating his sister, which is unlikely but possible, any difficulties in the relationship and he would be caught in the middle and your friendship would be ruined. Plus how would you feel knowing he was in the next room banging your mother/sister, yeah not so good, in fact you'd probably despise him for it.

Priyanka09 agony auntIt would be best to first talk out to your friend, and be open about it. Speak to him about how he thinks of this,and before you proceed with this girl, it would be better if you check with your friend. Your friend will also appreciate your honesty. You can tell him you wont go ahead with this girl if this brings any complications betweeen the two of you. I am sure your friend will also be honest about his feelings and accordingly you can decide what to do.
