Of course not! Why should it be wrong to fall in love with your someone? She might be your close cousin, she might be your distant cousin but the most important thing is that you are in love with her. \n\nAs far as I know and believe, love comes naturaly. You do not need to create love for somebody and obviously nobody does that. Love will automatically be created in you, will be felt by you for someone but you never know who will be your she before love comes to you!\n\nSo, as you can see, it is not at all wrong to fall in love with your distant cousin. By the way, are you in love with her? If you are sure that you are, do not hesitate to make her know about it. She might be feeling in the same way too! Who knows!\n\nBest of luck and thanks for such a wonderful question.

To really get her attention ... date a cousin. Works every time it's tried - in Arkansas anyway.

If you have never lived as brother and sister, then it is ok. If you were brought up as brother and sister from a young age, no it's not ok.\nWith the additional details you have said, then no it is not ok. I think "growing up together would normally mean from the age of around 13/14 or under. Personally, I would say under 16/18. If they both consider the same man to be their father then it is wrong for them to date because that would be like dating a half brother or something.

No, first cousin twice removed. She's a first cousin to your son/daughter, once removed to your grandson/granddaughter, and twice removed from your great granddaughter. If she was your great great niece, she'd be third cousin.

Personally, I have no problem with it.  Many other people do though.  What do you think about it?  If you have any reason to hesitate and not date the person, you probably shouldn't.  I would also try to find out what your parents think about it, as well as the person you are thinking of dating's parents.  That can cause lots of problems too.  Ultimately though, it is your decision and your life.  You need to do what you think is best!   Interracial children are often beautiful.  Good luck!

OK people get your head out of the gutters, she is his cousin!\n\nI think the best thing you can do is just be there with her, you are the old cousin who she looks up to and probably idolizes since you are all of 14 and can do some many things she can not. So definetly have some games that you can play together, but let her decide what she wants to do, and just be the loving cousin and she will adore you for it.\n\nAnd ignore the sickos here, it is not creepy it is cute and loving.

NO! She is your cousin. If you ever have children they have a 75% chance of being mentally retarded to say the least of your genetic worries.

First off, please please speak and type in proper english. And if you want to date all four, then do it.  Don't make a commitment to any one of them and you shouldn't have any problems.   Until you commit, you are free to date whomever you want.

I think it is just fine.  As long as you aren't in a committed relationship with either of them you can date as many as you like.  That is how you decide WHO if either of them you want to have as a boyfriend.

I dont think that there is any problem of it being in the same year. I mean its not like a year has only 1 month in it :P. And besides, your would be in spring, and hers in winter ( if u have winter in nov), thats like almost 6 months. Half a year!. Just have a talk with your cousin, just to make it 100% sure that she is ok with it which im sure she would be. Then there is no problem. Besta luck, and congrats :)

I don't see why.  People are people - we are all of the same species.  Man + women = children.  It doesn't matter if the woman is black and the man is pink/green/yellow/white etc.   \n\nI think people should be able to date whoever they choose to date.  However, it might be wise to consider the wishes of their parents and relatives when they select a person to spend the rest of their lives with.   If your parents are prejudiced, remember that you have to spend the rest of your life with your family and with your spouse.  It could cause alot of tension at home so unless you are totally dedicated to the person you are dating of another race, you may want to avoid the difficulties down the road.

It's legal in some states to marry your cousin.

Right now, just don't take sides. Trust your boyfriend and try to keep your cousin out of your relationship. It doesn't matter who did or didn't. If you can keep them apart then do so. Tell your boyfriend that with the current situation, you don't feel comfortable with them being together. Make sure to tell him that you trust him. Don't make him feel like it's his fault or you may lose him.\n\n~Pancake
