A question I pose to you is one of my stepbrother and his new love-fascination.
After being friends with one girl for about a fortnight, my stepbrother has now entered a relationship with her (which is a good start and I hope it goes well for him).
But, as I'm still a guy that has been single his entire life, I don't really know what to base his fascination with as it does seem slightly weird. Every moment he can, he is on the phone to her (I think he now has tan lines of a mobile around his ear/cheek), always around her house etc. which I can understand is quite a natural feeling of wanting be close to someon you desire - but it seems too much.
Don't get me wrong...the relationship I have with my stepbrother is always one where I like to keep him at arms length and will even go into other rooms to avoid him - so him being on the phone/always out is a good thing, although I do honestly believe the amount of time he is glued will probably cause it to burn out quickly.
The only thing that bothers me about the whole thing is the fact he has one of her bracelets (Barbie pink, horrible beaded thing that looks like it is won out of a cracker) and insists on wearing it on his arm. I don't actually think it looks too different from this. Along with that he is wearing one of her white fluffy scarves and a tight top (because she likes it). He does look a right mess. The issue that bothers me is the fact he keeps going on and on moaning about why people keep giving him odd looks/saying he is gay/guys trying to pick him up.
We (as in the household) have told him straight that what he wears does set him up for odd looks etc. But to finish this topic off, is this sweet that he makes himself look daft to impress one girl, or is he stupid to actually let one person he has known for about a month dictate what he wears and make himself be a target for abuse.
And the second question to the lads...would you ever wear a bracelet like that in full view when working/clubbing/socialising.
I may seem like a right jerk for posting this (everybody has a right to decide on what they can or can't do), but I do want an honest opinion. Am I behind on the times? Are pink cracker bracelets the new rage for men? Any lines I can use to tell him to shut up when he complains about how many times somebody has commented on his choice.

I think he can wear it if he wants, but yeah, expect all kinds of weird looks and people thinking he's gay. And you too if you're out and about with him. ;D
Well, we're not telling him to wear it, but I have told him that I'm not going anywhere with him if he's wearing it.
I think it's entirely understandable and quite sweet in a naive way. Eventually he'll grow out of it.

Missed this. I probably would have when i was much younger. Once you're with someone you really like, you dont give a f**k what other people think of you.

I've only known people to do that sort of thing for the sheer hell of it (one of my housemates included). Maybe it works, though...

I wouldn't put it past him. I think she has him so under the thumb it's quite a possiblity...

I wonder what he looks like in a thong...
I'd think he was gay. If he got upset at why gay people are hitting on him or giving him looks, perhap he should take a good look at his attire. From the sound of it, he's whipped! Which just has "desperado" all over it.. Is he really that in love, or that desperate to just have a girlfriend?? I say that if she loved him back, she wouldn't make him out to be a fruitloop.
He's blinded and at the moment, no matter what you tell him, he won't listen, so just let it be. You can always laugh about it when he comes to.

Well we do anyway. He goes off in a huff (but then again if anything is remotely to his disliking he gets funny with everyone).
I mean I am single and probably would love nothing more than to be in a relationship, but I don't think there would be any way that I'd change my attire to make myself look silly. He does look incredibly ridiculous (especially with a change of hair style that further magnifies the gay look). Nothing against anyone being gay, but is he trying too hard to be with this girl to overcompensate his sexuality. He has even freely admitted having a crush on John Barrowman...
