Search Results: older girls with younger guys

I have this guy friend who I really like. Don't think I've ever actually had feelings for someone as strong as for him. He's incredible, and I know just from our friendship that he is someone I wouldn't even have second thoughts about wanting to spend my whole life with him. But it's so hard. Because he loves to be around me, yet I don't think he feels the same way. He is a year and a half younger too, and while mature, I don't think he's thinking about any girl in that way. So it hurts me everytime I'm with him because I know my love grows and he just sees me as a good friend. I already sense the heartbreak coming in a year or two when he finds some pretty shiny girl.

My question is whether or not talking to his older sister about it would help. We've been growing closer, and I really love her, but I would really hate for her to think I'm only friendly with her because of him. She's so loving and protective of him, and they're so close. I just worry because I think her finding out is inevitable, if not already present. But at the same time, her knowing could help our friendship blossom because right now if feels like I'm hiding something from her.

I was considering just taking her out to breakfast one day and talking about the fact that I like him, why I like him, why I don't want her to take it the wrong way, why I value her, and to just be honest about my fears and struggles in regards to him.

But I don't know. The last time I liked a guy, his sister knew, and that was the best and most comforting thing ever. But I don't know if that would happen this time around... What do y'all think?
