I haven't seen him in 5 years. He is 23 yrs old and I'm 31. I had plans to take him to a Red Hot Chili Pepers concert that is coming to Nashville, here it comes the infamous "BUT" the jerk of a friend that had the tickets has been very decieptful towards me lately and I had to get rid of him for awhile until he can get his act strait. So now I have to find something importaint that we can do together so that I don't feel like such a jerk. Really can't afford the tickets that are now $120 and up a seat, that we had before. I also don't know where to find the same good looking date that I had lined up for him that I told him about. We've only been togehter twice since he was 10 years old. I took the wrong path for awhile at 16 and he ended up taking the brunt end of it from our father who doesn't even talk to him to this day. So you can see why I feel a litte motivated to make this trip special for him. I need some advice please.

I'm sure if you just told your brother the truth, he'd still appreciate the thought of what you wanted to do with him, and might even have an alternative idea for something to do. Though it's great that you want to make this visit really special for him, you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a great visit. Since you haven't seen him in a few years, wouldn't it be nice to just visit with each other, catching up on what's up? Show him what you've been into, plus any pictures you've taken over the last few years. If he had a date, how would the two of you be able to spend any quality time together, reconnecting? Once he comes to town, find out if he'd like to rent a couple of videos and chill out in front of the tube. Or go see a movie that you've both been wanting to see. The whole idea of him coming to see you is to spend time together, and doing things you both enjoy. If he wanted a date, I'm sure he could have found one in his own home town. Maybe find out if there's an indoor festival or bike show and take him there, if you really think you need to go somewhere. I know a few brothers your age, and when they get together, they play video games, board games, and rides around town. Anything where you and he can interact together, talking and having fun. <*)))><

Lighten up on yourself. You don't really think he is coming just so you can entertain him do you? Spending time with him will be more satisfying to both of you. Take him out to a nice dinner and then think about renting some movies and just hanging out like friends.If he wants to suggest doing other things let him decide. But the most important thing right now is to talk to him and get to know him and let him get to know you better.Good Luck.

It seems like just sitting down and talking would be a wonderful way to spend time with him. If you two don't know each other that well, wouldn't this be a good opportunity to do that? Just going to dinner or out to a bar for drinks or whatever where you can still socialize with each other would be quite nice. Good luck and try not to impress him...he probably just wants to get to know you better.

the only factor i could be mad approximately is that my city had the shame of having between the worst bands carry out of their. The Jonas Brothers-we gained't sing track, play track, or write track, yet permit's create a fad, like Barack Obama or pop and rap track, that we are going to settle for as "stable." Frank Zappa reported something alongside the lines of. people who hear to radio and boost up with radio hear to s***, and that they are stated in this s*** that they call track.

just being together is special enough. it's not every day two brothers who have been apart for so long get to see eachother. and if you really feel the need to do somehthing with him, take him bowling!! even if you both throw nothing but gutter balls, it passes the time well, and gives you a chance to just BS together.

Stop trying to impress your brother with expensive tickets and pretty dates. He has not seen you for years. Re-connecting with his big brother is going to be much more important to him than a gala of luxury entertainment.

My guess is he would value just sitting in a park eating a hot dog with u and chatting than any fancy concert.

Just be honest with him from the get go. If your not it may back fire once again. When he gets there ask him what kinds of things he likes doing and go from there......
Good luck with that
