I met a really nice guy about 4 weeks ago. He's very sweet, and probably the nicest guy I had ever met. There is NOTHING between us, nor will there ever be. We are JUST FRIENDS. Let's call him "Bob". Well, yesterday, as I was talking to Bob, my older brother (in Bob's grade) was in the room. I happily pointed out to Bob, "Hey! You know that's my brother?" Bob couldn't believe it. "He's what?? Are you serious"--then he looks like he's about to say something then says, "No! I won't say anything." I was a bit confused.
The next day I pleasantly ask Bob why he couldn't believe my brother WAS my brother. He didn't want to tell me why at first. So I ask him: "Is it 'cause we don't look alike?" "Is he quiet?" "Are we way different?" "Do you know him?"
I ask again, "Is he quiet?"
Finally, Bob says, "No! He's loud and-- and annoying!"
I am too shocked to reply. "Oh, really?" I chuckle and dive into the Girl's bathroom. Later that day, I even said Hi to Bob and he said hi back, as always.

Now I know that my brother has a few hearing problems lately which may cause him to be loud and he is really frustrated lately because alot of his friends are making fun of him an deserting him lately. I guess all the moving got to him. His grades are also not as high as they used to be.
I think Bob is a great friend, but I love my brother.
What do I do??

The question is: How do I not betray my brother and keep this friend at the same time?
You're welcome. Free points! It's the holiday!

Bob is NOT a crush. He's like a......second brother.

I had the same problem too. This guy I was getting into had seen my sister. He asked me is that really your sister, I said yeah, he laughed. Supposedly my sister was the "geek" but I didnt care what he thought. We still remain friends and now he thinks my sister is cool. So my suggestion if he sticks around he'll realize how cool you and your family are. Family comes first regardless so dont make that decision, and if so I hope you would choose your brother.

Don't worry about it guys always act differently towards each other and your brother might feel like "Bob" is better than he is in some ways so, when he's around him he can be loud and annoying. Sounds like your brother is just growing up, and there are times when people are growing up when they can be loud and annoying but, that changes as you get older. Just be friends with both of them it won't be a problem.

I think you need to talk to "Bob" and tell him what's going on with your family and especially with your brother. If he's a great guy as you hope, he will understand and won't pick on your brother. If he can't understand the situation and is disrespectful to your brother and thus you, then he is not a good friend. I'm sure once he knows what's going on he'll be there for you and possibly him.

Explain to him that your brother is having these problems (if ur sure he won't go to school and blab) As long as he isn't 1 of them making fun or talking badly about ur brother then why not stay friends. I bet some of ur brothers friends don't like you either.

So your crush doesn't really like your brother? SO what? If it's going to stop you from dating or being friends, then that's his loss. Until that happens, just keep doing what your doing.
