First of all, one of my best friends has a little brother. He is in grade 8, I'm in grade 10. I have been friends with her for 2 years and I am over at her house all the time. She told me once that he liked me. Of course I would believe her because they are close and he hangs around us a lot.
I didn't really know if I liked him or not. One day, while we were all skiing, I thought I'd tell him I liked him so I could ski away with my friend and see if what she told me was true.
He pretended he never heard me so I just dropped it. A couple weeks later his friend stole his phone and said "i love you". He got it back and said "That was Erik, but I still like you". What my she told me was right. At school everyone was asking if we were dating, which we weren't. His friends just started that. To be honest, I was embarrassed to 'like' him or to even date him.
It wasn't bad after a while and on Valentines day he asked me out. I said yes, I was just going to see how it went. It was my first boyfriend. I still went over there a lot and my friend didn't like that we would hang out. I understood but I was trying to make time for both of them. Surprisingly it got us closer but also with rocky parts.
He broke up with me two months later over text. He was nice to me about it and I found out why he wanted to break up. He thought I was annoying, competitive, and clingy. Unfortunately I can agree with him. I didn't know anything about dating and neither did he.
It started getting worse around him when I would go over though. He would be super mean to me around his friends and my friend wouldn't do anything about it. She has to lie to me to get me over. She would say that he wont hang around us, then when I get there he is around us a lot and just keeps going with his comments. He talks bad about me to his friends and to his sister. I wouldn't care if he was some random guy that I would just stop talking to. Its mainly that im still over there a lot and he wont stop being immature about it and grow up. We don't have to be friends but we don't have to be enemies.
I don't know what to do about it. I am still friends with her and will always be. I don't care what he thinks of me, but he could at least not act like a tool around his friends to be mean to me.
My advice about dating your friends brothers. Don't do it. Unless you aren't soft hearted. You don't want to ruin your friendship, its not worth it. Don't go in thinking it will last long. I did know these things before and was actually surprised it lasted that long.
Sometimes I wish I never dated him but the truth is I don't regret it. What I just really wished is that we would just go back to the way things were before we started dating. I know that won't happen and thats why I think I wish we never dated but I still don't regret it. I only don't know what to do now.
This was made somewhat as an advice blog so I am telling my story with advice but I am also asking you guys your thoughts. Comment below any experiences you all have had, tips and maybe thoughts on what I should do.
