My brother, Andrew, has always been a shy boy, ever since he was little. Over the years, nothing really changed. At school, he barely made any friends, even though he was honestly a good guy. Because of his timid nature, Andrew never had the chance to date girls properly. At university, his circle consisted entirely of lads. The girl he fancied ended up with another bloke, all because Andrew just couldnt make up his mind or muster the courage to tell her how he felt. While Andrew didnt have much luck with his personal life, he did pretty well for himself career-wise.
After graduating from university, my brother landed a job, bought a flat, and began helping out our family. The years rolled by, but Andrew still couldnt find a decent girl to settle down with. I even tried introducing him to some of my friends, but every time it turned out to be pointless. All the girls would say, without fail, that they simply couldnt hold a conversation with Andrew, despite admitting he was a nice enough man. Yet, there was one girl who somehow managed to capture my brothers heart. Andrew lit up around herhe looked absolutely radiant with happiness.
As for myself, Id rather stay single than go out with someone like her. His new girlfriend works as a shop assistant and has two children from her previous marriage. She hasnt got a university education and doesnt own her own home. I honestly cant understand why my brother is with her. When Andrew introduced her to our parents, our mum nearly fainted on the spot, then eventually asked their guest to leave. I feel for my brother. Hes been on his own for so long, and when he finally finds someone, she just isnt right for him. Andrew refuses to listen to Mum and Dad. Love is blind. I just hope my brother wakes up soon and realises his mistakemaybe then hell leave her.
How on earth can I convince him?
