writes: Dear Cupid,I should start with some history. My best friend and I have known each other since first grade, so that's an accumulative total of 12 years. He is my very best friend, I'd do anything for him, and I see him as a brother. His entire family loves me, and I do mean entire family. I know his mom, dad, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, ect. and they are all very fond of me. His sister has had a crush on me for 8 years now. I use to treat it as an annoying little girl who was looking for attention and I figured she'd grow out of it. I was wrong, she still has a crush on me. Up until a year or so ago I just brushed it off, but recently I have been responding to her crush. I think I like her. We have a lot in common, we are friends as well, actually I'd consider her a best friend also. Her parents trust me with her, last night I took her out to the drive-in movies and we didn't get back till 2 or 3 am. She is very open about her love for me, everyone knows. Everyone responds positively to it as well. Her friends have openly suggested I date her already, and her mom tells me I should either date her or just go along with her because she doesn't want her to be broken hearted.My problem is two-fold.First, my best friend. He thinks it is just one-way and that she will grow out of it. I do not know how to tell him that I really do like her.Second, I do not know how to feel towards her. I love her like a sister, I have beaten people up who have hurt her and have told kids off for making moves on her when she didn't like it. At the same time I have more feelings for her that are now emerging and I just do not know how to handle both types of love I have for her.Please help me,-Frankly
