My brother has always been the shy, quiet sort since we were kids. Honestly, its like nothings ever changed. Back at school, he barely made any mates, despite the fact that Davids a genuinely good bloke. Thanks to his diffident nature, my brother couldnt so much as chat up a girl, let alone actually ask one out. Even at uni, his whole friendship group was just a bunch of lads. The one girl he fancied ended up dating someone else purely because my brother dithered too much. Mind you, while David didnt have much luck in the romance department, career-wise he was flying.
After graduation, my brother landed a proper job, bought himself a small flat, and started helping out the family. Years rolled by but he still couldnt find a decent girl. I even tried setting him up with some of my friends, but it was a complete waste of time. Every single one of them said, almost in chorus, that they couldnt get a proper conversation going with David, even though hes a cracking guy. Then, out of the blue, he met someone who totally bowled him over. Suddenly, David was grinning like a lottery winner.
As for me, Id honestly rather stay single than date someone like her. His new girlfriend works in a shop on the High Street and has two kids from her previous marriage. She never went to university and, to top it off, she doesnt even own her own place. I honestly have no idea what my brother sees in her. When David brought her round to meet the parents, Mum nearly keeled over, then politelywell, as politely as you canasked the guest to leave. I cant help but feel for my brother. Hes been on his own for so long, and now hes finally found someone, shes just not right for him. David flat-out refuses to listen to our parents. I swear, love really is blind. Fingers crossed he wakes up soon and realises his mistake before its too late.
Any tips on how I could talk sense into him?
