writes:I met my friends brother for the first time the other day; he's 6 or 7 years older than I am and just getting out of a 5 year relationship. I knew all about his crazy gf, the party lifestyle he lives, etc etc because my friend (his sister) talks about it quite frequently... I had pretty much decided before I met him that he reminded me way too much of my younger brother and sort of seemed immature. Upon meeting him my assumption was pretty much right, but we got along well (probably because of the likeness to my brother).A few weekends ago my friend and I went out for drinks and her brother and his (now ex) gf tagged along. I was sitting at a different table than them, but when my friend left to go to the washroom he got me to move over and sit beside him. He kept saying he wanted to see what I was like drunk (because normally I'm really quiet), but I didn't feel like drinking. He would raise his eyebrows, look at me, and say my name in a questioning/suggestive tone. I ordered 2 of my own, then he got me 4 more after that. Each time I got a newdrink he would steal it from me and take a sip, then laugh at me because it was too sugary and he didn't get why I was drinking it. He inched closer to me the entire night, and a couple times wrapped his arm around me or rubbed my back as a gesture to what he was talking about or something. At the end of the night he paid my bill.He had a gf at the time, and his sister is quiet outgoing, so I didn't think anything of it all. The day I left he made a point of saying goodbye, I told him it was nice to finally meet him and he said "It was nice to meet you too. Hopefully I see you around." I enjoyed hanging out with him, but I'm not interested in him in any way but as a friend at the moment. I have no idea where he stands (if he is just friendly, interested, or what) and I don't want things to go awkward as I have a tendency to unintentionally come off as flirty with my guy friends.Do you think he was being friendly or more?

 Normally I find that older brothers don't go for little sisters friends.
Are you sure that you don't have feelings for him and are hoping that he feels the same way?

 His familiarity with you could be due to the fact that you're the friend of a younger sister and if he's known you several years he may see you as something of a little sister as well.
He may indeed be flirting with you but at this stage it is far too early to act on that possibility. To be safe just assume he was being older brotherly.
