Love

[ed_eminem]

Hi I am in a constant slump as I have fallen in love with one of my cousins. I am currently in the united states visiting family who I havn't seen since I was small so I don't really know any of them and I have fallen in love with a cousin. She is a little older and has a boyfriend who is hardly ever with her. I can't stop thinking about her. Should I tell her how I feel or keep it inside?

To be honest dude, that is not right. I'm 16 and have hormones flying around. But to be honest, if u tell ur secret then that could cause some arguments. See how it goes, and if u continue to feel like this then, well u could tell her or someone close and sort it from there. But personally, it will probably cause arguments, so leave it as it is cause its probably a phase ur going through dude. Hope i helped, laterz.

I was the same with my big cousin many many years ago...the feelings will pass when you meet someone else.

Ya man dont screw yourself over, you'll pass this stage.

I think you'll find what you have is a crush rather than being in love with her, it happens a lot especially if you're at the age where your hormones are all over the place. I wouldn't advise saying anything to her and concentrate of finding a girlfirend amongst your own peer group.

Don't tell her, if anything did happen between you it probably wouldn't last and then you'd always dread visiting your family because there would be a bad atmosphere (listen to someone who knows mate!).

Do not tell her. In most Western countries a relationship between cousins is considered incestuous, and that is probably how she would feel it too. I am not saying you should feel bad or ashamed, but that you may cause her, and yourself, serious problems if you reveal your feelings.
