Question - (29 December 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 31 December 2010)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

The other day my brother went on a roadtrip, he'll be gone for a week. his friend (who I am really in to) came to say bye and what not. as his buddy was leaving a friend told him that he could still come over and hang out with me, teach me to play cod if he wanted. he said something along the lines of "I will" and 2 hrs later he showed up with his ps3. he stayed here for 5hrs teaching me to play, and my friend (a different one than the one who said he could come over) a little too. while she was playing he didn't say much. when she was done he asked me 3 times if I wanted to play, just kept looking at me and smiling. I gave in. he kept saying when to shoot, or when to throw a grenade etc. when I laughed at myself he did too. he kept saying he was tired, but waited till I had finished playing before he left (he wanted to watch me?)

we had been talking and I said something about being weird, he said I wasn't the only one, so I said "you won't judge me then?" and he said "never" but he proceeded to say he would judge my friend teasing. though he has said he doesn't like her much before.

my friend talks a lot, and whenever she would talk he would look at her. when I talked he only looked at me a little.

though, when he was sitting he was leaning towards me 90% of the time, his back was against my foot. when he was done playing he'd turn so he was facing me with he back to her, and was looking at me sometimes and piling his wrappers a few inches away from my foot (I was in a recliner he was on the floor). he then took the garbage (in a toblerone box) and shoved it in my friends shirt. she whipped it at him. he caught it and set it by me. I took it and stuck it on the brim of his hat; he reached up, felt it, and then just left it there. after a few minutes it slid off and he whipped it at my friend.

whenever my friend left the room he would immediately start talking to me.

and to top it off, he left his ps3 (that he just bought 3 weeks ago) at my house overnight and told me to take care of it.

so my question is, what's his deal?! why is he so nice to me and so mean to her? he's actually a real sweet somewhat shy guy, so it's not like the things he does are him being an a**. does he like her? or me? maybe neither... ?

my friend also made a comment about letting me touch his boob, and he never said no, he just said "you'd like that, wouldn't you?" to her.

it seems like he pays so much more attention to her than me, but he's nice to me and mean to her. what is his deal?!

my brother said before, on numerous occasions, that me and this guy were loads alike (I've come to find we are, in many ways) and would get on well... so the impression I get is that he wouldn't really mind too much. if he did mind, he's the type of person would voice it. I'd make a point to go about it all with a sort of caution.

IKnowWhatIWanTButDoThey agony auntOkay, yeah...It SEEMS like he could actually like you.. whether it be as a friend or more, is still a mystery.. boys are weird! xP

I think he's trying to warm up to you...And I'm guessing that you like him, so do you think if it ever led to that, that your brother would be okay with you 2...going out??

so what you're saying is at any rate he likes me as a friend, which is def a start =)

I don't think he likes my friend tho, at a previous time he had just gotten back (was away working for a month), first thing he did when he got back was come our house (mine, my brother's & some other peoples). he asked my brother where I was, my brother told him with a friend and he said "I want her not her f***ing tag alone" (this was relayed to me by my brothers gf). apparently he had been wanting to take me and my brother out to lunch (even tho at that time I barely knew him... I'd barely even talked to him)

IKnowWhatIWanTButDoThey agony auntOkay, there are multiple answers for his behavior, which could be:

1. He likes your friend, and is mean to her to get her attention, and [unconsciously, maybe] is nice to you to show her how he COULD be w/ her, if she felt that way..

2. He actually likes you, but doesn't want to make it seem so obvious because, dude, your his friend's SISTER!!!

or

3. He really doesn't like your friend, and likes you, but doesn't know how to tell you when you're his friend's sister.

And then theres this: I could be completely wrong, and he actually doesn't like neither one you in that way... he just doesn't like your friend AT. ALL., and enjoys hanging out with you...If this is the case, I think he doesn't only see your brother as a friend, he see's you as a friend too... =]
