Older brother doesnt like his friend talking to me, but doesnt tell that to his face.Whats going on?

Either your brother is gay, and is jealous his attractive friend has interest in women, or he expected you to tell him which of your friends like him. Instead you told him they are interested in his friend.

@Patty_Melt Ok, so instead of showing discomfort on the face he could just tell him, but instead looks at me in a sortoff angry manner.What am I supposed to do…

Tell your brother you are confused.

I have two younger brothers.
When we were all still living at home they would be angry at me if I talked to any of their friends, even when it was their friends who started the conversation.
It was like they thought I was “shopping” for a boyfriend in their group of friends. Not only was that untrue, one of my brothers started hanging out with my boyfriend. It didn’t end happy. In fact, it didn’t take long before we both broke up with him.

Just think back to when you were very small, and think of this guy as one of your brother’s toys. Just leave it alone so there won’t be any fights.

Older brothers tend to PROTECT their little sister whether they need to or not!!! It’s NOT unusual for an older brother to act strange around his sister & any of his friends that he feels she might like. After all, NONE of his friends are good enough for her!!! Boys tend to brag about things that they’ve done or want their friends to believe that they’ve done & maybe it has made your brother feel a bit more protective than maybe he should be. It’s also normal for older brothers to NOT say anything to their friends about staying away from you because they don’t want any confrontation!!! Since your response to your brother’s question is what seemed to spark his current attitude, maybe YOU should have a talk with your brother & tell him that you’ve noticed a big change in his attitude since you responded to his Q & ask him IF you said something that upset him & give him the opportunity to explain his feelings on the subject. He might have been hoping to hear that your friends find him the cutest & maybe he’s just a little jealous.

Him giving you a dirty look is HIS way of telling you that you’re going a little overboard with your flirtations (in HIS opinion) & he’s trying to tell YOU to back off. This is normal behavior for many older brothers; so, you might want to point out to him that you are practically an adult & that although you appreciate him trying to protect you from life, that you feel that you are old enough to handle this yourself. Either that or IGNORE him making faces when you’re NOT pleasing him!!! Of course, there will be times when you will be GLAD that he’s there to protect you when things are going wrong!!!

He’s giving you a verbal warning about the guy. The guy has shown interest in you, and your brother doesn’t trust him with you, so is telling you to watch out and keep away.

Perhaps he knows something about his friend that you don’t know that maybe you would not like about this friend.
Perhaps this friend is a playboy or womanizer or has this tendency and perhaps that is the reason that your brother is in a bind?
To tell you and therefore you may spill the beans to every other female?
He has probably got a bond of friendship of where young men keep their knowledge of each young mans female history? Meaning perhaps he uses females then loses them?

My older brother did that when one rare instance he brought over this cute friend, in a very short time he quickly shrugged off his friend when his friend stated ” who is that?
I heard them leaving with the friend stating that he didn’t know that my brother had sisters?
Meaning that he was interested.
I was only 17 years of age and my brother and his friend were over 18 years or 20 yrs old at that time.
My brother knew about his friends philandering and was trying to protect me from him

Which by the way I could had used my brothers protection when I met the man who became my husband , who turned out 11 years later to be caught in a marriage that he really didn’t or was not ready for. ( even though he and I were engaged…of which later I found out that he did that to get laid only..it was a game he and probably his friends played).

I divorced him after three children and 11 years of a lonely life working and rearing the children on my own anyways since he was always gone doing his own thing as if he were still a bachelor.

Could had used my older brothers assistance before and after to avoid all that pain and loneliness in a loveless marriage.

Thank your brother for caring enough to look out for predators of which he knows but you and others do not know as yet.

@kritiper if that’s the case he needs to tell sister straight up to stay away from the guy, not send odd vibes hoping she’ll get the message.

@Dutchess_III Duh! The question was “Why is he doing this?” not “What should I do about it?”

Well, there is no way we can answer the question, then!

@LadyMarissa” He might have been hoping to hear that your friends find him the cutest & maybe he’s just a little jealous.”

you mean like jealous of him in general or because he talks to me.

@star90s I meant it as jealous of him in general; but, he might also feel a bit threatened by him because of you. He knows a side of his friend that you’ll never know & he doesn’t see his friend as the right person for you for whatever reason. Not knowing any of you, it’s hard to say exactly what the problem is. I just know that it is NOT unusual reaction from an older brother. He’s feeling a need to protect you!!!
