The problem is, he's my brother's friend and my brother doesn't like the idea of me going with his friend. My brother is trying to do everything to stop us I'm not even sure if the friend likes me anymore. At one time I'm sure he did. I asked him once, after I found out my brother was making trouble. All he said was: "I don't know." What should I do? Thanks, Con­ fused. OUR REPLY: Dear Con­ fused--the first thing you should do is tell your friend that his an­ swer isn't good enough. The truth is he does know...so make him tell you whether he wants to go out with you or not. As for your brother, communicate with him that you don't appreciate his meddling. Keep all of these relationships separate, your brother should do the same. The main thing is to be certain how you feel and what you want. Share that with both your brother and the friend. Take respon­ sibility for making sure they are clear on where you're coming from. Then, give them the freedom to do what they're going to do anyway....but don't get hung up in somebody else's non­ sense (Immm of Mm »oImw at hmH, r>qmH tor personal rapU** cannot bo accomo­ dated.
