Why does my boyfriend's brother hate me?

I can really say that this is a relationship question. My relationship is perfect, but I'm a pretty quiet person if I don't know someone. When my boyfriends brother comes over with his girlfriend I never say much more then Hi, How are you? sometimes I'll carry on a 10 minute conversation. My boyfriend tells me that I'm a lot like his brother but I get the feeling that he doesn't like me. He might even hate me. I often catch him staring at me not a mean star but not smiling either but not when his girlfriend is close by, if I don't speak he doesn't. Sometimes he greets me in a very excited and pleasant way and others times he's extremely cold. I havent really known him long enough for him to have a reason to dislike me. I'm always pleasant but quite. Did I do something wrong to this guy? Why doesn't he like me?

He likes you, but he cant hide that well enough, he uses his cold demeanor to try and hide it from his girlfriend and everyone else..

ClaireAndJamieXX agony auntIm thinking more the opposite of him disliking you.. He stares at you when his girlfriends not around, not to intimidate you, to probably let you know he likes you. I know it sounds weird but thats sometimes the way shy people act. And his greetings probably vary to who was near at the time. If his brother or girlfriend was near he was probably cold so that they wouldnt have any idea what was going on. Just talk to him about it or joke next time he stares at you by saying something like "its alright im not going to run away! No need to watch me" but remember to make sure he knows a comment like this is a joke as it could be taken as offensive. Or you could just be direct with him or tell his brother.. Good luck xx

rcn agony auntYou've done nothing wrong. It doesn't sound like he dislikes you. If he did, he wouldn't greet you at any time in a pleasant way. His looking at you when his girlfriend is not around is not appropriate. Reason being, his girlfriend may get upset if she sees her boyfriend checking out another girl. His looks may be viewed as looks of affection, but not directly showing it. Generally if someone doesn't like you, they won't have the subtle stare toward you.
