She's toying with you bruv!

My brother's been on the case of an elusive young lady for the past three months. I've never met her. She likes to keep a low profile but my brother thinks the world of her and he said he’s falling in love.

From what I’ve deduced about the situation, she's not as interested in him as he’d like. No doubt, she’s fond of him, but she doesn't want him for keeps.

They do a lot together. They go to the cinema, the theatre, they went to Florida in December and he buys her lovely gifts and flowers regularly. They meet for dates after work, spend most weekends together and she stays over at his house quite often. But the snooping suspicious sister in me thinks that something doesn't add up.

He doesn't know anyone who's linked to her. As far as he's aware, she's really close to her brother and sisters and speaks to her mother every day but she said she's not going to introduce him to her friends or family until she's 100% sure about him. She also said she doesn't want to meet any of his friends or family until things progress further.

This mystery woman also explained to my brother that she's a born again Christian so she doesn't believe in sex before marriage so anything of the sort is off limits. He's noticed that she doesn't go to church, nor does she practice anything to do with Christianity apart from the no-sex rule. Which is fair enough, I applaud any woman who takes her sexuality seriously.

My brother has been very frustrated lately because he said he's really keen on this girl but she's giving him mixed messages. She acts like she's interested but says negative things like she's afraid to give herself over to a relationship because she's afraid of getting hurt. Or she'd love to open her heart fully but she doesn't want to rush anything. Miss Illusive also said she's incredibly intense when she's in love and doesn't want to scare Costa off with her intensity! She also made it very clear that she's interested in Costa, but she's really busy... too busy for a full-on relationship.

But the thing that made me say to him I think you're being hood-winked is when she said to him yesterday "I like you a lot but if you meet someone else, I don't mind if you date them because I think it's important that you find your soul mate".

I said to my brother, when a woman meets someone she's keen on, she makes it VERY CLEAR that anyone else sniffing around's gonna get a punch on the nose. I'm suspicious of any woman who encourages the man she's dating to go out and "find his soul mate"!

I have a good mind to ring her up to tell her to step off - she reminds me of a man I dated back in the day who p*ssed me off to the highest point of pisstivity. This madam needs to go, however it’s up to Costa but she's getting on my nerves and I've not even met her.
