I'm really confused...

---

So it's not illegal to, say, fuck your own mum? Thats crazy?!!? Or are you just talking about cousins?

You might find the follow article interesting.....http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=124241&page=1I think there is less rejection when the cousin link is further down the chain...like perhaps 3rd or more. I don't know what level your relationship is. I would suggest that you not do anything irrational and allow plenty of time to make sure the relationship is strong before going to any next level.

thanks for that article. it really was interesting. as for the questions from people above she is my first cousin and i have no idea if she feels the same way for me.

personally, i think it's incest if they are related close enough to actually know they are related.

I'd say treat it like any other attraction to a girl. The real problem is how others are going to feel about it. And that's pretty much out of your control.

Then a huge part of the world's population is guilty of incest, because marriage between cousins (including first cousins) is very common.

In the UK (and in the bible if it helps) sex and marriage between cousins is not outlawed. In fact, lots of cousins get married in the UK.

I was in love with my cousin too, once. I thought, I guess I wasnt really, but then I thought I was.

If thats the case then i'd say to op (like someone else upthere^ did) just treat it like you would any other normal girl...I mean she could turn out to be your soulmate..lol

Last time I heard, incest of any sort is not illegal, provided both parties are of age.

Yeah I know this may sound kind of creepy, and yes I've said it before on this site, my grandparents were first cousins. Of course they didn't know they were cousins until after they were married because they had never met before in their lives. I, personaly, really don't agree with cousins dating but that's just me. I say you need to find out where this relationship is going (you should find out if she feels the same about you as you do her). But if she doesn't feel the same, don't push it and just leave it alone because that will only cause you both alot of unwanted grief.

i cant just treat her like any other girl. i cant exactly just go up to my cousin and say "hey u wanna go out sometime?" unless she feels the same shed probably think of me as a freak or somethin. and i cant tell her how i feel for the exact same reason. a lot of u are asking if she feels the same...well heres a question...how do i find that out? i really need some help. was any1 else ever in this situation before please help me!!!

how do i find that out?You'll have to read her mind. I have a thread on the supernatural that you might be intrested in...Just treat her as any other girl who has a deadly contageous disease.

You'll have to read her mind. I have a thread on the supernatural that you might be intrested in...Just treat her as any other girl who has a deadly contageous disease. dude wat the hell is the matter with u? i'm posting sincere questions and ur acting like a sarcastic jerk. all i want is help not criticism.

You are in the U.S. and you are physically attracted to (i.e., you want to lay) your first cousin. You don't know how she feels, but you want to know how she feels before you go ahead and potentially screw up your relationship with her, her family, and your family.How will you find out how she feels if she doesn't tell you and you don't ask? How about asking her brother if he thinks his sister is sexually attracted to you?Am I missing something here? You don't make much more sense than the guy who's sexually attracted to his mother.

ur a moron stevea. i never said i wanted to get laid i said i wanted to be in a relationship with her. a relationship is just sex though that may shock u its actually making an emotional connection with some1.

You want to have a romantic emotional relationship with your first cousin, and you're calling me a moron? I fell in love with my cousin when I was five. But I was five. You really see a future in such a relationship? You don't think there's a potential to screw things up in your family? If you were of an ethnic background that accepts such relationships (in the U.S.), then you wouldn't be all bent out of shape asking your question here.Tell me, why do you think approaching your cousin is different from approaching any other girl? If you have no issue with the cousin thing, then it would be the same. But you do have an issue. What is the issue that bothers you?I suggest you wait for her to make the first move.

You need to slap yourself upside the head a few times and get a clue. Find yourself another girl who's not related to you.

Incest actually is illegal in some if not the majority of U.S. states and you also have to think about the risks your taking if you decide to persue this type of relationship. How will your family react(your cousin especially) to your decision? You should probably talk to a counselor before you make a decision like this.

26 states allow cousin marriages. (Not sure about first-cousin restrictions.)
