Actually, it says in the imprinitng wiki part on here that no matter what happens a imprinter will end up having a romantic/sexual love for the imprintee. So, the imprintee can just see them as brother, friend, but the imprinter will have a romantic/sexual love for the imprintee. Stages of imprinting  There are stages to imprinting, especially if the shape-shifter imprints on a child, or otherwise someone very young.

1st stage—If the imprintee is young, the shape-shifter will act as an older sibling.

2nd stage—As the imprintee grows older, the shape-shifter will also come to be their best friend.

3rd stage—They become intimate friends. Meaning, their feelings for each other are changing into romantic feelings. (Remember, this stage may or may not happen to the imprintee, but the imprinter will fall in love with his imprintee. They will not 'see' any other woman or man in a romantic way, at all. Their imprintee is all he/she cares about and he/she will love her/him even if those feelings aren't returned.)

4th stage—When the imprintee is old enough, the shape-shifter's feelings grow into romantic/sexual love
