Remember when Demi hooked up with Miley's brother?
Imagine your best friend telling you she thinks your brother is hot. Your first reaction? Probably something along the lines of, ‘um, ew’. Thinking about your brother or sister hooking up with someone is gross enough as it is, but thinking about your brother or sister hooking up with your best friend? That’s when things start to get slightly awkward.
So how would you feel if your BFF and one of your siblings started dating? Would you be totally weirded out, or would you be happy that two people you love are happy together? Turns out that the editors of gURL.com all feel a little differently about this one:
Go ahead - date Julie's brother!
Julie: Get My OK First
I have a little brother (who’s not so little any more!) and when it comes to him dating my friends, I’m fine with it as long as my friend or brother checks in with me before making a move. Sure, it sounds nosy, but a friend/sibling relationship is obviously a delicate thing and it’s only right to give the friend caught in the middle a heads up. I’d never stand in the way of anything. I’d just have pow wows with my brother and my friend to tell them what I thought. After that, I’d be totally out of it–I definitely don’t need the juicy details of my baby bro’s dating life! But looping me in at first is the only way to make the situation kosher.
Torrence and Cliff? Best example ever.
Melanie: Might Be The Coolest Thing Ever
Okay, remember in Bring it On, how Torrence gets that adorable mix tape (with a song written just for her!) from her BFF’s brother? And how it’s the best thing ever when they finally kiss at the end of the movie? If that’s not enough reason to be 100 percent okay with friends and siblings dating, I don’t know what would be. The only way that it might not be so cool would be if the siblings were identical twins. Making out with someone who looks exactly like your friend could get a bit confusing!
You heard the kitten!
Jessica Says: Stay Away From My Siblings
Picture this: one day you find out that your best friend and your little brother have started secretly hooking up. Oh, and everyone knows but you. Oh, and then he gets another girlfriend and him and your BFF stop speaking and things go from slightly awkward to MAJORLY awkward. Yes, this happened to me, and yes – I think dating your friends’ siblings is a horrible idea. I’m not just being selfish and saying this because now I feel uncomfortable (my BFF hates his new GF, but, um, I kind of like her): my best friend and brother have to see each other all the time, and I’m sure they feel 10 times more uncomfortable than me. If you’re going to get into this situation, make sure you’re in the kind of love where you plan on getting married – otherwise, just a random hook up? Take it from me: horrible idea.

i would be okay with a girlfriends dating a brother, but not a guy friend dating a sister… i think it would honestly make me jealous, and for reasons that are really unknown. as far as the girlfrined/brother relationships go, it would be alright with me as long as the relationship didnt end horribly…
i totally crazy about my bestfriends older brother. we have known each other for atleast ten years. her brother is a few years older than me and we are completely comfortable with each other. my bff told me im not allowed to date her brother but maybe if she knew the truth about how i felt maybe it would change… he seems to be into me too but i dont wanna bring it up incase it ruins our friendship.
Story of my life, My older brother has this friend who’s almost 2 years older than me and we used to talk for hours everyday and I really like him but my brother told him he couldn’t talk to me anymore because it was “weird” Now I really miss talking and my brother basically ruined my life. So I don’t know what to do its been like 4 months and I can’t stop thinking about it..
I totally am in this situation right now. My older brother has this friend who’s only almost 2 years older than me, and I really like him and we used to talk everyday for hours but then my brother basically ruined my life and told his friend that he wasn’t aloud to talk to me anymore because it was ‘WEIRD’. So now he just ignores me because we can’t talk and I’m really kinda sad about it..
Seeing that my siblings our 7 years younger than I am…heck no. Now if my friends younger siblings wanted to date my younger siblings. Suure, why not? And I’ve never even thought about my best friends brother like that. Ewwww.
Me personally, IDGAF, it’s their lives and I’m not gonna stand in the way of my brother or my best friend finding happiness!
i fEEl weRe cOmInG FrOm
ABSOLUTELY NO. unless they were the same age, but my younger sister dating a friend of mine, NO
I did the exact same thing when I was 13 I was so clueless! I rmeeebmr looking at pictures of swimsuit models in catalogues and thinking, Huh! They don’t have hairs on their stomachs, they must shave them! It never occured to me that fine hairs wouldn’t be visible from a distance.Anywho, I shaved around my belly button and it grew back, and I shaved it again. Then I realized the mistake I’d made, and knew the hairs were just going to get thicker and darker, so I let them be. I have a dark patch there now luckily I only wear one-piece swimsuits anyway!
For me it depends on the friend. I’ve had almost all my friends tell me my brother is hot so I’m used to them having crushes on him. Dating? I’m not sure. I know my brother better then anyone in the world so I’m pretty sure I’d be able to tell if a relationship would work. If one of my friends wanted to go out with him (or vice versa) I think I’d be ok if they talked to me first. Its they’re life but they can easily screw up mine so let me be a part of this.
As long as I knew my friend was a decent person and wouldn’t do something like cheat on them, I wouldn’t care. It is their life. In the end they make that choice and I wouldn’t be mad at either of them.
I am currently in this situation. My best friend of 4 years just recently started dating my older brother. She asked me and I agreed as long as I wasn’t being used to get with him. And now she’s preggo. I do not mind the situation as much as my mother. She pretty much hates my friend now. It’s a weird situation that takes getting used to but who am I to stand in the way of their happiness.
