How to make someone you notice you?

[SoSobored]

I have a friend (C) and she has a brother (M) and I fancy the pants off of him. C lives with him so he is there when I go round and Cs and my DSs play together.

I try and initiate conversation but obviously I'm his sister's friend so its just polite small talk.

I've tried to add him on facebook but past that, how can I get him to notice me? (I know that he is single)

Men are visual. There more likely to respond to something that catches their eye.

Serious question - how old are you? "fancy pants off" "get him to notice me" sounds very young but you say you have DS?

Two obvious routes -
ask your friend to do something and to invite him along so you spend more time together as a group.

or fish around for something he's interested in that intersts you too and ask him yourself if he'd like to come w you

That film we were talking about, I was thinking of going next weekend and wondered if you wanted to come.
I see that band are playing here next week, would you come with me - don't want to go on my own.

I am absolutely useless at flirting and in the past have actually said to women that I find them very attractive and that I would like to take them on a date. With flirting, if you get a knock-back, you can claim that you were only flirting and had no ulterior motives, but my method does leave you open to the hurt of a refusal.

Having said that, I have never been refused; I think most people find it refreshingly honest to be told that someone is attracted to them. Let's be honest; it is rather flattering to be informed in no uncertain terms that you are someone's object of desire.

The worst that can happen is that he turns you down for a date; that puts you right back where you are now. There ought not to be any embarrassment in a frank admission of attraction if you are grown-ups. Good luck.

I think relationships with friends brothers or sisters can be awkward.

You get together ...split up ...and your friend is stuck in the middle. This could ruin a good friendship.

Call round (minus the children) when you know that C will not be present?
