Is dating someone your family is pushing for ok?

Question

my family is really large, I haven't met half of them,I recently met a distance cousin he's fourth cousin. and my aunts and uncles seem to think that we are good for each other, in the family there are two relationships like this they seem to think as long as it's not first cousins and that you didn't grow up together then it's ok , i do find him attractive but feel guilty about it.

Answer 1

EWW. Ok first I will tell you that it is legal to marry a 1st cousin (ick) in many states and all states allow marriage of 2nd and so forth cousins. But nowadays with all the people out there it is sick to have s*x/ date a cousin!

Dont do it. Stay away from him. It is sick. He is a relative of yours! Think of your wedding...all the relatives would be from YOUR side only! Cause his side and your side are the same! EW

Answer 2

     Who you date it your decision and yours alone. You are the one that is going to be in that relationship. My younger brother ended up marrying his distant cousin. They didn't know they were cousins till after the wedding. They had a beautiful baby girl and lived happy for a few years.    You will know who the right one is. Trust your heart and believe in yourself and you will do fine.  God Bless you.
