Self proclaimed relationships

I’ve happened to grow a liking for one of the girls I met and would really like to make her my wife; but just one problem, I had also proclaimed her to be my ‘sister’ on earlier occasions, when I had no intentions of marrying her.

In the light of Islam, does calling someone your brother or sister make them impermissible for marriage.

Brother and Sister relationship in Islam – is it incest?

I was facing certain problems, many friends tried to help me and especially this one brother who has been on my course for 3 years yet we have never really spoken much before, but he was facing very similar situations, and the reality of our issues brought us closer together. Please do not get me wrong, we did not engage in any haraam we would talk mostly about deen and studies over MSN.

He helped me a lot to stay affirm on my deen and keep my faith in Allah to pull through my problems, we established at the start of our friendship that we are nothing more than brother and sister, but as time passed and we overcame our problems and i got to know more about him i felt like everything I desire in a spouse he has. I felt in my heart that I did not want these feelings to become haraam so I prayed Istikhara on whether he is the right choice for marriage several times and felt good feelings every time.
