My Brother and Girls

My brother has very bad luck with girls. So many of them turn out to be stupid bad words. I've tried to stay out in the past, but I'm not this time. He's got a new girlfriend. He met her online and I guess they hit it off and are now dating. He's known her maybe a week. I'm worried that it's a bad idea, but I'm staying at a comfortable distance. Comfortable meaning I'm going to step in if it gets bad. Have you done this for someone? Or have you ever wished that you could do this for someone?

I have never tried to interfere with any relationship of my siblings or close friends. But if I do find something not good about the person that they are with, I tell them about it and warn them.

Hi MaylaJay!
As an elder sister to my one and only brother, all I can do is to remind him and give some advise whenever he gets into a relationship. I don't mind whom he will be dating as long as he's happy and he loves the girl, I'm fine with it. But then again, I am always reminding him of his limits and telling him my observations and comments about his girlfriend. Its just a good thing that my brother do listen to me.
And whenever things went wrong, I am here to support him! I guess that's the only thing we can do because we can never dictate them on whom to love.

A girl like that is dating with one of my family members right now but I still have not met her in person thank God . She is real annoying and gets on everyone nerve so we all stay away . Now he is thinking of breaking up with her but we are leaving all that up to him .

It seems like your brother is an easy hook. He has to be careful because girls who are also easy hooks are up to no good. He must have heard of murders committed by pretty young girls with sweet angelic looks and voice.

I definitely am doing it to my brothers. The case is a lil bit different though. My brothers are the serious type (on relationships) and they want their present to be their last. I always make sure that I make friends to their girlfriedns for me to sneek out on their closets. I won't allow my brother to almost kill himself again because of some stupid b**** that doesn't give a damn after she dumped him.
Just a peice of advice, don't keep your "comfortable" distance. Sneek out sometimes.

Sounds like he is meeting girls in all the wrong places. Sometimes people have to learn things the hard way. Meeting online is not always the right place to meet.
One time, a friend's daughter met someone online. This daughter was 19 or 20 years old at that time. They had communicated online for several months and this online boyfriend came to visit her. This daughter thought that this online boyfriend was the right person for her. Luckily, this daughter of my friend told her mother that this online boyfriend is meeting her.
Sooo, my friend, along with her brother, several other of her friends and a few more relatives - decided that they would also met this online boyfriend at the airport - along with the daughter. My friend took lots of photos of her daughter and this online boyfriend as they met. Especially, took lots of photos of this online boyfriend. She made a big fuss over this online boyfriend - 'Nice to meet you and let me introduce you to ALL my daughter's family friends and relatives that are here to greet you. It's that wonderful that you have such a big family gathering to meet you. Let me take another photo of you.'
Needless, to say, when he got back to where ever he lived, he send an email to let my friend's daughter know that he felt she was not quite the right person for him.
My friend didn't trust him and probably was right in not trusting him.

You do not say how old your brother is, but it does sound as though he is old enough to learn from his mistakes. you obviously love your brother and want to give him a helping hand, which I can understand.
I have a brother and I feel the same kind of protective love towards him as you feel towards your brother but even dear brothers have to make their own lives. Perhaps a word of wisdom before he messes things up again might just do the trick. It is early days yet, and an online relationship may be one that is more disciplined than a face to face encounter. I think you need to be patient with them and stay at your comfortable distance.

No, but I have read stories similar to that and many feedback from my friends and used as topics when we have gatherings. Some of them is doing it for a challenge to prove if they can really do it and if it was true that their are also girls out there who is planning the same. Anyway it is not really good but if by luck sometimes you can also find the best in the most unexpected places and in most weird time of your life.
