Being a Woman Question

Heelp meee!!!

I have a problem.

So I went on a school excursion to London, where I met this really hot, funny and cool guy called Keith. We had lots of fun together and I thought he was just an extra hot friend untill the party we had at the end of the excursion. We made out for like half an hour and then we left for L.A the next day. I said goodbye to Keith and he acted as if nothing had happened. Keith and I are still texting and stuff but he hasnt mentioned the 'incident' once. Somehow I think my older brother knows something happened (you know how brothers and sisters have some sort of psychic relationship and stuff) and he is like weirdly overprotective. So now he isnt speaking to me.

What should I do about my brother? and why won't Keith talk about the incident which he pretends not to know about every time i bring it up?

Regarding Keith: It seems like that was a one-time only "incident." Perhaps emotions were running high--you mention this occurred at a party at the end of your trip. If that's the case, and he keeps ignoring your references to it, then let it go. It sounds like you're still friends, based on the fact that you're still in touch w/each other. I think that's the way it's going to be. I'm assuming you two don't live near each other?

As for your brother: You don't mention your ages, but as you were on a school trip, I'm guessing you're in your mid-teens, and your brother is a bit older.

You're right in that he prob. senses "something." Family can be weird about each other, esp. when it comes to romantic/sexual matters. He probably still sees you as a little kid, and he has conflicted feelings about the fact that you're actually a young woman.

Furthermore, not to generalize, but your brother also knows how loutish some guys can be, and I bet he can't stand the idea of some guy being a jerk to his sister. It doesn't explain, however, why he's being distant to you.

How long ago was this trip? As you recently posted this question, I'm guessing you just got back?

Anyway, if he's been distant for a couple days now, I'd think that's enough. I'd approach him, and start a conversation in general, like "we haven't talked in days. What's up?" And go from there.

Good luck!
