Or eyes, rather, since we're all looking at a computer screen. :P

So, I'm now facing a very complicated and difficult situation. There's this guy in my life that I hold very near and dear to my heart. We've known each other for about two years. We've been side by side through the worst of times and also the best of times. He's very sweet and funny, and I realize that even though we've both dated other people, we still come back to each other in the end. More recently, he's been showing signs of interest towards me such ashugging me, texting meevery night,etc. We've been closer now than we ever have been before.

But, here's where the problem lies: this guy happens to be my brother's best friend.

Could these feelings I have for him somehow work out? Or does this relationshipcross the doomed, cursed line of sibling ethic? I need some help please! :(

Ask him what he thinks about it. Is he ready to possibly hork up his friendship over this?

Say to your brother, "Hey, I really like *name goes here*; you mind if we go out?"

If he says he's fine with it, do it.

If he's not, do it anyway; just don't rub his nose in it.

You should first ask your brother and what he thinks about it, then say somthing like, "hey ____, how would you react if i, like went out with____? would that upset you?" now personally, if i was in your bro's position, i would be upset. Just saying. But, if your brother doesn't mind then go ahead.

Yeah, I'd say do that. One of my good friend's sister liked me a lot and chose not to get involved because he wouldn't have wanted me to. It's an awkward situation. As someone once told me "The rule of thumb is, if you like your friend's sister, you have to tell him within two weeks of meeting her, otherwise it just gets weird."

Ask your bro before you go for it. This doesn't cross any dangerous sibiling boundaries. Just watch the PDA around him and pray that, if it doesn't work out, the break-up ain't messy. It could ruin things for their friendship.

Talk to your brother first. Don't ask him to give you the green light, but tell him how you're getting really close to his friend and explain what you're feeling. He'll probably reply by explaining how he feels about you two hanging out like that...

I don't have a baby sister, but if I did have one... I probably wouldn't like it if she went out with some of my friends. And it would be out of protectiveness. My frieds are mostly great guys, but I could probably easily reveal a few stuff to her about my friends' history with girls that she didn't know... so be prepared for that.
