"Hook Me Up With THAT!"
Yesterday, I was looking through my friends profile on Facebook and my brother comes up behind me and says hook me up with that..
*Clears throat* Excuse me, first of all this is my friend, and second of all I’m not a match maker. It really kills me when someone would rather have someone hook them up, instead of them going out of their own way and finding somebody on their own. Worst of all they want you to hook them up with your friends.If I reverse it, that’s like having one of my brothers best friends come to him and say yo man hook me up with your sister. WHAT! My brother would punch him dead in the face if he wanted to. Or it could be me telling my brother to hook me up with his best friend, and he’ll probably slap me silly (not that he would though)…But still.
My brothers are way older than me, and my friends and I are the same exact age. Some may be a year older than me or a year younger than me, but either or we’re still in the same age group. A few years back, my brothers use to date my friends or their sisters if they felt my friends were too young to handle him (if you know what I mean). I didn’t find this out until last year and it somewhat killed me because now I see why some of my friends are not my friends anymore.
Yeah, I know sometimes friendship shouldn’t be based on stuff like this. But it just leaves this awkward feeling that you can’t explain, not even in a blog like this. At some point you do feel betrayed by both people. But I can’t say that I felt that too because it happen so long ago, and I can’t even explain how I feel right now.
But how would you feel if your sibling suddenly start dating your bff? If it did happen to you, how did you feel? Were you bothered by it? Are you still friends with the person?

It was really uncomfortable once when a friend of mine said she wanted to get in my younger brother's pants...it was highschool and all but omg...it was a sickening feeling.
AHHH i get that from my cousins all the time. or guys come to me to see if i have any friends for their friends, the answer is always no. But id totally be the one saying hook me up with you're hot friend, if they had any.
My sister is three years older than me and we look exactly alike.
When I found out that we made out with the same guy in high school, I wanted to vomit.
She graduated in 05, I graduated in 08, and the boy graduated in 07- so I suppose he was fair game, but still.
I felt less sick when I found out that I kissed him first though.
I don't like being friends with someone who was/is romantically involved with my sister. It's not even that it's gross, it's just her personal business. I think everyone would like their family life and romantic life separate. I wouldn't hook her up with anyone I know.
I think I would be more offended that my brother called my friend a that over the fact that he wanted to hook up with her.
at first i was gonna say, you're not a very good friend/sister if you wouldn't set up a friend and a sibling up...but you seem to believe that your brother isn't exactly of the highest moral caliber. i think you're doing the right thing for your friend.
I think it's great! I get on the ball for them.
I'm an only child, so I've never had that happen to me. I'd probably b*tchslap someone if they wanted to just 'hook up' or get into my sibling's pants. But if they truly wanted to date my sibling because they feel something, then I wouldn't mind it at all!
well it never happeneed to me personally but i always thought it seemed uncomfertable.
i had a friend (ill call him friend a) whos bestfriend (friend b) once asked me if i had any attractive friends he could sleep with.
then a short while later, maybe a month or two friend b was now dating friend a's siter. on top of that, he didnt tell him about it, he would just wander away while at his house.
i dont know, it just seems very awkward to me.
I'd be completely uncomfortable and I would put a stop to it at once!
This is, of course, because my best friend is an attractive twenty year-old male while my sister will be turning ten in the upcoming months.
But if put in a situation where it could realistically happen, I don't think I'd be too fond of it. I know my friend well enough to know that if I didn't approve (And I can promise I probably wouldn't on sheer standard and the fact that I strongly believe in separating my friendships from family life) that I would never be able to win an argument or have a conversation. I couldn't keep my mouth shut on my comments, because if I did stay quiet he would assume I was ignoring him because I was mad and would look like a dick... But if I DID input my opinion, I'd be a straight-forward dick. So I get to pick my poison. What fun.
my brother had a crush on my long time friend, who is two years older than me, four years younger than him. So that prevented him from anything but flirting. It was really annoying and if they dated I probably would have lost that "friend" time with her. but other than that I don't care. Normally I become really close with his girlfriends, they are all sweeeeet hearts.
I'd get jealous and annoyed. I'm sure it'd change the friendship but then again, they'll probably break up eventually.
@suppkelso@xanga - They better be, I'd think twice if my younger sister didn't like my gf.
I don't care - my friends and family have had better judgement of girlfriends than I did so I would trust them when it came to setting me up. Call me crazy.
i would be bothered and i don't think i'd let it happen. if it happened organically... it would take time for me to marinate on the idea.
That would be disturbing if my brother would wanna get in my best friend's pants, or vice versa. We all grew up together. Just.... No.
Brothers in general are tasteless and rude when it comes to this stuff. BEFORE my husband and I were married, I was at his appartment once when his brother stopped by for a visit. The brother gets onto his computer, brings up his own myspace, and starts telling my husband, "Dude, you have to come see THIS chick, she's frikkin hawwwt," ummm... HELL-O I'm standing right HERE... he doesn't need to girl surf anymore, he's got ME... (Whom he thinks is hella gorgeous so...) and he just KEPT ON DOING IT, like even when we were like, "Okay, we really don't care," "Come see THIIIISSSS chick...." >_> They're YOUR friends, younger than us, and your brother, who is taken doesn't give a flip.
He did something similar once when I was over for a movie, he looks at me and goes, "OH, he only likes this movie cause there are boobies in it," O_O... I was like, "Okay, you're just being tasteless and rude," :P
UGH
my BFFs are all late teens or early 20's. my brother is 40.
that'd be extremely weird.
@PeriwinkleAdonis@xanga - Haha I agree.
My brother hooked up with one of my friends while they were both drunk. It was weird as hell but we're all still friends lol we just don't talk about it!
I understand if she's a really close friend of yours, but why not set him up with your friend? They might really hit it off, and you could even tell him what to talk about, or give them advice on how to act or what to talk about.
