A year ago I met some new friends who have a shop next to mine, initially i was friends with one of the brothers, his older sister liked me, they use to tease me about it (they were trying to set me up with her), We never hooked up or anything i wasn't that interested.. i kept us friends, I grew a stronger bond with the whole family seeing them almost everyday, Recently my attention has been drawn to the younger sister, who seems to act a little differently when speaking to me - she can't stop moving, sometimes drops things- full smile when looking at me and cannot keep a straight face (this is what got me thinking), sometimes i feel like shes subtly flirting with me but doesn't intend too, I have come to really like her..however, the thing that im worried about is - shes 18, im 26. This might be preventing her, im not sure how the brother will feel about this im sure he would understand if anything should happen between me and her, he was fine with his other sister but she was aged early 20's. The sister's are close, im 90% sure that the older sister is over me now i hope.
I havent shown at all that i like the younger sister ( havent flirted with her yet or given compliments) but i can't get her off my mind and ill do anything just to see her, im very scared to admit how i feel or who i should tell first!
I mentioned i was going to the same club as her, she smiled big and asked me
"Really?" but right after she turned and said
"no that would be weird!", i asked why and she said " because you're my brothers friend!"
but she explained further and i got the feeling she would of been embarresed if I saw her at the club dancing etc.
sometimes she jokes around with me and comes closer to tease me or whatever, like i joked and said this is my space and she walked right up to my face ( not to kiss me), i stepped away ( like an idiot)
run up to me at her shop as im talking to her brother and she had food and wanted to heat it up and was excited..came closer to me ( i stepped back like an idiot again)
The thing is..what has thrown me off is that i messaged her afew times, she didnt reply for a day! ( i ended up doing the same) it wasnt anything big we were just having a laugh.
Time is making it stronger because i see her twice a week at work, Im not sure what to do and im confused, she could be confused herself, I need some help on finding out how she feels and what I should do from here on!
