Need some help with my 16 year old younger brother!

kids will be kids... it annoys me when I see kids on fb posting all that stuff too but w/e

He drives off all girls interested him by basically stalking them online, never leaving them alone and telling them he loves them after like 2 days of agreeing to go on the first date. He is staying with me this week and he came down talking about wanting to go on a date with one girl, then two days layer had a gf that lives in Brighton (he lives in Birmingham). He's met this girl once through his (frankly weird) friend and had only been talking to her for two days. Now he's 'official on Facebook' and telling her he loves her.

He's bareley spoken to me all week and is just texting her constantly, which is pretty boring to me, and he wants her to come to stay in Birmingham, which my parents won't agree to until they have met her, and are generally very pissed off about the whole thing. Trying to be a good sister I said she can meet us tomorrow for a few hours but now she wants to make out and stuff and he wants to hold hands with her and just urgh. I'm going to be there!

Can anyone help me with what I should do/how I should act?

Tl;dr my 16 y/o brother is weird with girls, I have to meet his new gf tomorrow and feeling uncomfortable and stuck between my brother and parents.

Eventually he will realise he's losing out/will get over this initial phase with his girlfriend by himself.

That or your brother is just weird and good luck.

While this sounds really dismissive (probably because you were! ) it's pretty much the response you should have. He's 16, he doesn't know any better regarding love and relationships. It's not surprising he says he loves them, he's just confusing it with... overwhelming infatuation? It is a bit desperate but he'll learn. He can only learn through experience, I don't know any 16 year old that would listen to the advice of someone older because it's always along the lines of "you're too young to understand." At that age, that's incredibly offensive.

Let them hold hands and kiss a bit. They're not really going to develop their relationship very much if they can't have any physical contact. I mean, you're there and they should respect that, so everything in moderation, but you should respect that they're in a relationship (as much as you're pessimistic about it... again, understandable as they're 16 but let them learn).

Tell your brother he is acting like a bitch and he should grow up.

Story of my life, maybe he's bi?

Just realised I accidentally posted this anonymously! But seriously, someone help

Why would that suggest he was bi?

I call bs, I have done this before but it said thread starter next to my nic, you're not being that thing that lives under a bridge are you?



I didn't realise we were still talking about your brother

I'm not being a misogynist but are the girls he gets pretty?

16? He should be focusing on his A levels.

He's only just done his GCSEs and he will be lucky of he passes more than two (he only took 6) so really has no need to focus on A levels. As he won't be taking any.

He's sixteen , creepy awkwardness is practically part and parcel.

Let him crack on with it, in a few years he will hate his life when he looks back on it....don't deny him that feeling.

He needs to focus on re-doing his GCSEs or getting a job. Has he got a career/life plan?
