I always flirt with bartenders. If you do it right, they're generous. If you do it wrong, they let you know. I love the game, even if I don't get to play for keeps any more.

The grand take on all this is that you aren't entirely comfortable with your brother's behavior. That may never change. You owe it to yourself, however, to make sure you don't get any on you in the future. That's part of maturing to adulthood - making dispassionate decisions about family.

Good luck. My own family is a mess. It's far easier for me to give this advice than follow it.
