But for me... I wouldn't do it. I think it might be because I grew up with my second/third cousins and they are like my family so I wouldn't feel comfortable "getting close" to any of them because, I call them my cousins.
Talk to your family about it and see what they think.

 You are second cousins, as the common blood ancestor is a great-grandparent. I doubt people would have a problem with it.

if you're not sure, ask. it won't be that hard. And if he is, talk to him about it then decide what to do. whatever happens i'm sure you'll be happy in the end.

He's more like a second or third cousin, basically it would be entirely possible for you have lived your life and never have met him, or even knew he existed.
My last name's Flynn, should I then avoid anyone with that same last name, be we related or not?
You are so distant that genetically speaking, you bare almost no relation to each other.
