Steve and you:

This is going to sound like harsh advice. I think sometimes one needs to hear it, even if one disregareds it.

Steve is a very sweet 12 year old (I think) lad. He probabaly appreciates the offers of friendship but is nonplussed by them. You see it is more than unusual for a 16 year old to befriend a 12 year old, and it is probabaly more unusual for a 12 year old to befriend a 16 year old.

As you know the world of a 12 year old is different from the world of a 16 year old. Many different concerns, different interests, different emotions.

You have become fixated on this lovely child because he epitomises all that you wish to have in a kid brother, and also represents more innocent times to you.

Kid brother material he may be. Innocent he is not. That goes much earlier. Naive, yes. Innocent, no.

This child is not, I think, for you, brother, friend or other role. Unless that is, he chooses to walk towards you. Your role now is to step away.

To fulfil the need for a kid bro, why not get involved with a youth organisation? Scouts, Sea Scouts (you sail after all! - what class of boat do you sail?), St John's Ambulance, Youth Club - all sorts of things are there for you to be able to mentor a kid brother or two.
