I keep thinking about this guy for years but we have not even made out & I am trying to get rid of him in my head but I can’t! I think its wrong to feel this way because we are first Cousins but I can’t help it. He always teases me and stares at me and yes I know he is attracted to me too. Most other people know we have the hots for one another. But then again, we’re first cousins, that is a Big Deal! How do you deal?

No don’t think so … but his part of my life. I haven’t heard anybody bad-mouth him. They all say his a nice guy.

Don’t get together with family, it probably will cause problems later on.

To the point! lol Too many people don’t go straight to the point…I like you …And Tan I like you too so smile ok…don’t get all depressed on us now.
Anyway I care about him. I don’t want to use him like that. We’ve looked into each others eyes for what seemed like ages & it felt like it was just me & him you know, everything else around us just sort of dissappeared. Sound like Forbidden Love you think? or is it still Lust? lol

Keeping it in is better than Confessing? I know of someone whose confessed. It didn’t work. But she’s all good and she’s so happy she went for it. She did end up staying good friends with him. I’m hoping…I will be still happy and still learn to go beyond it even if it doesn’t turn out the way I would have liked it to.

I think it makes sense to not feel unhappy about it and just keep what ever is in your mind about him, as a good memory rather than a bad one, more like an incident, in your life and you will feel the same every time you remember this incident, but at least this way it will not bother you as much and you will feel more relaxed, (i don’t know if this helps, it worked for me).

Yea, I’ve got a similar problem with a co-worker. I’ve had a pretty serious crush on her for over a year now, despite the fact she already has a boyfriend. She just moved out-of-state a couple of weeks ago, but that hasn’t changed a thing for me - I still can’t stop thinking about her, and it’s making me crazy. I have to constantly distract myself - surf the internet, play a video game, listen to music, play guitar - otherwise I get all bent out of shape.

That being said! With your situation… cousins and all… I dunno. I’ve been attracted to cousins of mine as well, never did anything, but in hindsight I sorta wish I did :^) It’s pretty taboo in this day and age, but it isn’t in other countries, other centuries. But then again you have to wonder - “Won’t this make future family gatherings horribly awkward??” Ah, consequences…

There are more disgusting things in life :P … these are just my feelings & thoughts. I haven’t acted on it … thus my question above! You can’t choose who you fall for … how I wished it would have been easier, different & Cupid should have matched me up with someone am not related to…Sometimes I think he(Cupid)made a mistake.Ofcourse some religions allow marriages within close family relatives & its normal for them. It is alright for my family too, except for brother sister marriages Obviously No! (my aunt married her first cousin - my uncle lol), but I never thought it was a normal thing in our society. As long as the guy cares for me just as much as I care for him, I guess my family will be fine with it…

Yeah have been wondering that for ages … Do you still have a way to contact her? Lets hope she dumps her bf and comes running back to you :) … nobody said you couldn’t keep your hopes up. But then again I think this is whereJigokus advise comes in handy…

Yea I like the sound of that. Since you say it worked for you, I will give it a try too

Hmm, then how about this: My Grandfather and grandmother were stepbrother/stepsister at first. Kinda like a Brady-Bunch sort of thing. Their parents married when they were kids, they grew up together, Grandpa went away for World War II, came back years later… sometime after that they got married and my Dad was born. Pretty weird, I guess. But if it were any other way I wouldn’t be alive. So I ain’t complaining.

Yeah, I have her email, FB, and all that. We’ve chatted over AIM since she left, so there’s still communication at least. But part of me is saying, “You’ll probably never see her again, move on dude”. My heart is so **** stubborn, though. Really frustrating.

Jigoku gave great advice, mad props. I’ll try to consider knowing her as a happy memory, but it’s so hard to detach sometimes…
