My brother [one year older] and I have been arguing for the last week.

Me: I like my brother's friend.

My brother: had tons of girlfriends before. Some of them were once my friend too! But sometimes friendships didn't last because of my brother. Being understanding how feelings can be uncomfortable, I didn't really bother about this until week and yesterday again.


Then about a week ago. My brother's friend, who I liked for a while now, asked me to the movies. I was so happy! But my brother automatically text him through MY cellphone that I am busy and I probably won't be free for a while. I confronted him and what I got back was, "Dating my friend is off the limits, besides your grades, attitude ect ect ect are really bad right now... ect ". He basically bashed about me then called me "selfish".

WTF. I guess I'm just really mad right now. Whenever he wanted to ask a girl out, I always try to put good words for him. And the complete opposite happens to me.

I'm not even speaking terms with his friend that I likes! I tried explaining my case to him but nothing is working. He hasn't responded to anything that I sent him. He completely ignored me in our only class together and lunch.

Am I too selfish about this???

[colloquy]

No, your brother is being an overprotective douchebag.

[cubecul]

No, your brother is being an overprotective douchebag.

As much as I'd like to argue against it, I'll +1 to this...

He doesn't own your friend.

[MiiCKYO0CHUNx3]

You never know, your brother might know a side to him that you don't. Maybe him being a player? Meh, just another perspective to look at.

I'll have to agree with this...I wouldn't want any of my sisters dating any of my friends. Not because I'm selfish, it's because I know my friends all too well and my sisters are special to me.

i dont think you're being selfish
at all. i think he's the selfish one.
he can date any of your friends
but you cant date his? that's not
right ......

[Nana544]

hmmm...I don't think you're selfish. seems like your brother is the selfish here but then again, what if his friends have bad personality and he doesn't want you to get hurt.

[nobody knows]

I dunno, if you guys break up, he'll be the one to be really awkward when his friend comes over and you're like
there


personally I'd avoid dating my brobro's friends, but just going out to like the movies not even being boyfriend girlfriend isn't a big deal
he's being kinda like. Crap

[* veenee]

he's just looking out for you, and plus he knows that boy more than you do, and your brother doesn't want you to get hurt. There are tons of guys out there, but still, your brother shouldn't run your life and invade your privacy. going to the movies seem normal, but still just be careful, in case the boy is only interested in certain things and not into being in a relationship with you.

[K3.]

no, you're not selfish.
i agree with other people saying it's your brother being overprotective.
he's just looking out for you.
like, what if he knows that his friend is already interested in some other chick?
he prolli doesn't want you to get hurt.

[wicked_]

There's nothing to say that hasn't been said yet. He's just really protective! At least you know he's got your back & no you're not being selfish. You're just being a girl XD

[mal3ficum]

You never know, your brother might know a side to him that you don't. Maybe him being a player? Meh, just another perspective to look at.

i agree. but to some extent, yeah your brother is a bit overprotective? and no youre not selfish. its only natural to want to go out with the person that you like

[RYUUSEi]

It's his friend, he probably knows him much better than you and by that, he knows all of that friend's sides and how he usually treats his girlfriends. Isn't the fact that your brother is trying to keep you away from him a warning signal that his friend might not be such a good guy? Being your sibling, he obviously wants the best for you and he's only looking out for his little sister. It was wrong of him to use your cell-phone like that though, he could have handled the situation in better ways, i.e explain to you WHY he's so reluctant of the two of you seeing each other so it's not "lol I don't approve, the end" leaving you confused and pissed like this, haha.

Another thing ... yes, you are just a little bit selfish because it's your brother's friend, what if you two start dating and then things turn out sour? It will most likely affect his friendship with that guy, so maybe you could at least try to understand why he's acting like this. There's millions of guys out there and you just have to pick a guy that's your brother's friend? But I'm saying this out of the assumption that they're good friends, if they're not, then I guess it's not such a big deal?

[deliri0us_x3]

i think your bother knows something about his friend (your crush), that you don't. probably something bad too.

[plegend2007]

I can understand why your brother is kinda anal about this, but at the same time, just tell him........

What's good for the goose is good for the gander

[Hazy]

No, your brother is being an overprotective douchebag.

Definitely. Tell your brother that HE'S the one that's being selfish.

[Tiggie]

No your brother is being the selfish one
but then again he knows his friend more than you do
so maybe there's something about his friend that ain't so pretty
then again if you really like this guy just go for it
you'll never know what will happen until you try
or in the future you might regret it

[TechnoFibre]

I can see why your bro would be protective in this situation

Your his lil sis and there's prob sides of his friend that he wouldn't want you to be exposed to
and if you guys do start something, it'd be really awkward for your bro and his friend cus i'm sure your bro wouldn't wanna hear about all the couple-y details :x

[repeat_on_echo]

You aren't selfish. If you like him and he likes you, why does your brother need to interfere? If he knows something about your friend that's "bad", why wouldn't he tell you instead? That'd be the smart thing to do.

[missmoobear]

no;

he probably thinks your still a ;little; girl and needs protection.
