<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Basically last night after dinner when Dad and I were clearing the table I just said asked how his week went.  Then I asked if "Lori" (not her real name) had brought his dinner to him this week and he said yes.

So I just came out and said it.  I said, "you do know that Lori likes you a lot more than just as friend right"?

I was waiting for the denial or the laughing or something but instead he say's "I'm not an idiot".

I didn't want to get into a conversation about whether or not he likes her.  All I said to him was "if you are holding back being with her because of either me or Brian (not really my brothers name), you don't have to.  We both know about her feelings for you and neither of us have a problem with it".

He just said ok and that was it.  I think the fact that he didn't just blow me off or make some joke or act shocked leads me to believe he is interested, but that is just a guess on my part.

I spoke to my brother before talking with him and he said he thought something was up as well.  He said the only thing that grossed him out was that if they ended up together that he would have had impure thoughts about his step mom. lol  He's a little perve, I caught him once when she stayed overnight when we were in high school peaking on her while she was changing.  But that has been a few years ago and he has a girl who he is with now, I'm sure he'll be with a lot more though.

I told Lori today about talking with him and what I said.  I told her I did not ask him out or anything for her but I just let him know about her feelings and told her he didn't flinch.  So that's it for me and whatever happens from here is between them.  She said she is going to talk with him today.

I just hope that neither of them gets hurt.  I love both of them but at the end of the day he is my Dad so ultimately my loyalty is with him.
<bot>: Told Dad, he didn't say one way or the other.  Told her I told him now it's up to them.
