No idea what to do...? Help?

Question

Well, before a year ago, my cousin(from South America) and I used to pick on each other. So much, that I actually hated him because of it. But then one year, I dont know why but I started to get shy and I realized that I really like him. Now, we hardly talk because I'm always nervous around him. When he talked to me on the phone to wish me a happy birthday, he sounded really quiet and talked fast but it could've been b/c he didn't care about me. Also, my aunt(his mom) asked me if I have a boyfriend and when I said no, she said, "Neither does {my cousin's name}." She sometimes talks to me about him too. My grandma(from my mother's side) is his aunt, so we have little blood relation. I don't know what to do. How do I get over him, if u think I should? Do u think there's a chance he likes me? Please help me and give me serious answers. Don't say "Ew, that's gross." or anything like that. I know it is, u dont have to tell me!

Answer 1

It's weird because I have a similar situation he is a fourth cousin on my mother side and he is younger than me, many of our family members have also asked and said the same things yours did.  In fact they have said we make a good couple, I find him attractive but feel wrong about thinking about him like that, in my family there are two relationships like mine, they seem to think its okay when it's distance cousins and not first cousins and if you didn't grow up with each other, I am also confused and don't know what to do, all I can tell you is do you feel happy around him, do you think you could see yourself with him at family functions with no problem or do you feel you will need to hide your relationship.

Answer 2

ONE WORD FOR YA ! INCEST!!

Answer 3

yes get over him. many many many many many many more guys out there.

Answer 4

As much as you might like your cousin I would reccomend tryig your best to get over him. Relationhship problems could also hurt family relationships since he is indeed your cousin. If you really need someone to talk to, try talking to someone in your family that would understand and wouldn't blurt anything out.  

Answer 5

Yes move one.  After all, he is your cousin.  Even if there is only lil blood relation you are still family.  There are so many other guys out there.  Once you start meeting them youll forget all about your cousin.
