I just need to get this off my chest –
I’m 25f, on holiday right now with my family, which consists of my mum, sister, brother, brother’s wife and my sister’s boyfriend. My sister’s (42f) and sister’s boyfriend’s (around the same age) friend (33m), I will call him T came along with them.
At first I was surprised that they were bringing along a friend because no one had told me they would be until i got to the house we are all staying at, so when someone mentioned “and this room will be Ts” I was taken a bit by surprise, and wasn’t sure how to feel about him.
He was lovely and respectful the whole holiday, keeping to himself leaving room for our family time while also getting very involved socially.
The frustrating part of all of this for me is how fucking attracted to him I am.
He’s my type in terms of personality and physically, at first I was just like huh he’s cute, but assuming he was my sisters age, didn’t interact with him enough over the first few days to have it effect me too badly.
On the 3rd to last day of the holiday T and I went to the gym together alone, this was the first time we had spent any time together and I’m an awkward person so I didn’t interact with him too much as we both got on with our own workouts, and left separately because I had a meeting. (This was when I found out he was 33 and actually pretty close to my age)
On the 2nd to last day of the holiday me, my sisters boyfriend and T went out to a couple of bars. I got hit on a few times and T was very on it with checking I was ok and comfortable and offering to get involved if I wasn’t.
He also mentioned he had recently dated someone around my age but it hadn’t worked out. Honestly this night we bonded, found out we both are into metal (him a bit more than me), I was drunkenly pretty flirty, but it probably just came off as me being drunk.
On the final day of our holiday we all went to a museum, everyone split up and I, after running off on my own for a little, ended up going round the museum with him. Nothing particularly flirty was said and honestly I was trying not to make him uncomfortable, but it made me very happy to spend this 1 on 1 time with him! And then that evening we all sat down with drinks as a family and after a couple of drinks literally all I could think about was f*cking him. I was trying to make eye contact without being too obvious to my family, the way he sat really showed off his muscular arms & shoulders which I found insanely off putting the entire time.
The whole time I was imagining getting some more 1 on 1 time with him, to make a move. But I’m ultimately not that assertive of a person, so when everyone said they’d wanted to go to bed (around 1am) I just went upstairs, complimented his tattoos and showed him a few of mine in a final attempt to get his attention, and then we both went to bed in our separate rooms.
I just wish I was more assertive because this guy is BEYOND my type. Unfortunately I do get the vibe that he would be too respectful of my sister and her boyfriend to actually go for me, which feels like SUCH a shame. He’s not from the same country as me either so I will have no shot to really see him again in the near future.
I am frustrated as hell with all of this!
