<font color="purple">Yes, you heard me right. my brother is intent on dating my best friend. I heard about it from her first, she told me that it was a no because 1.) she just doesn't feel that way about him, and 2.) it would just be too weird because well...he's my brother.

Of course, I told him about this- but he's really, really adamant about it. I suppose he really likes her and wants to do whatever it takes to cut down of the "weirdness" and have her return those feelings.

It's just...getting to the point were he's really ANNOYING me. It was annoying enough when he got mushy with his past girlfriends, but this girl is my friend, my best friend. So it's about 10 times more annoying then usual when he starts talking about her. </font>

is there anyway you, and your friend can talk to your Mom and have her intervene (sp), maybe with all of you explaining he will listen

[whiteNight]

well its not like its inner family hes got a crush on-

but anyways if she said no- he needs to just deel with it- w/ or w/o that best friend wierdness

hope he snaps out of it

<font color="purple">Yeah, it'll be tough though because he doesn't really litsen when i tell him that she's not interested. I don't think she has told him no directly (which is why I think he's so determined- because I guess if you don't say no bluntly he thinks there is still a chance) but every time she talks to me about him she's talking about how she doesn't like him like that, and even if she did that it'd be awkward because we're friends </font>

Even though you are a friend/sister here this is really a situation between the two of them. If your friend is not interested in dating your brother I think she needs to be up front and honest and tell him how she feels. I see that you are very annoyed with the situation but I really think you need to let them work it out. Hopefully they will do so soon!

<font color="purple">Okaaaay
Apparently after going to my house and making cupcakes, decided that it wasn't so weird, and that they are now dating eachother teenagers.

It just annoys me.
alot.</font>

oh my. You don't state their ages, but apparently she doesn't see that it will cause an inevitable strain your friendship with her. I would just try to back away because it's not headed in a good direction for you.

I am so sorry you have to deal with this.

<font color="purple">She's 17, and he'll be turning 19 in 2-point-something months. Hanah and I (other friend with her) were talking about it, and we were both sort of confused like...why change her whole attitude to suddenly. She's the very thourough, responsible type, it just seems to be really out of character to be so spontaneous like that, ESPECIALY when she was thinking about dating another boy that she's liked since she was a freshman. (and is actualy confused now herself) Hanah was a little annoyed with my brother for not waiting until she and the boy she liked at least met up in person again. I would love to say I can sympathize but the two of them brought it on themselves.

I'm just annoyed that she's being so weird and my brother is ALWAYS annoying when he has a girlfriend. I hate seeing him all mushy and crap.

Teenage drama, what can you do?

It's hard to say. She may have actually had a crush on your brother for sometime and yes at her age it's not uncommon to like another boy too. Maybe she just wanted a boyfriend and the other wasn't moving quick enough. Maybe she is just wanting to get the other boy to notice that she now has someone and it's not him. Hard to say as she is a teen. Quite complicated minds. I never understand my teens, one minute they say one thing and the next they have a change of heart. Just let time take care of things and try to stay out of it and ignore him the best you can.

<font color="purple">I don't think she had a crush on him, because if she did then I wouldn't hear enough about it. (lol) My brother on the other hand, has aparently had a crush on her for about a month before all of this. I think she really just got caught up in the moment (...my brother must be one heck of a kisser) I don't know how long this is going to last but all things considered...I don't think it will be too long. </font>
