writes:OK, here is my situation…I am a college student, with a loving family. Recently I have found myself engaging in flirtatious conversations with my mom’s younger cousin. He is not married, and we have so much in common, we started out as close friends, but I feel a change in our relationship coming on. He lives in a neighboring town, but he comes to visit “us” frequently. Nothing really sexual has ever happened between us, but tonight, when we all went out for dinner, he and I sat by each other and we played footsies and sat with our legs touching each other’s. Is this wrong (I mean, he’s not my first cousin)…? Illegal (we are both adults) ? Or what… I really need some advice. --Gabby

If you want the answer to a question, often you can look at history for the answer.Arguably one of our greatest Presidents, married his second cousin - Franklin D. Roosevelt.

I mean not being a first cousin certainly changes things. And the fact that he's your MOTHER'S cousin, makes him only barely related to you at all.
But it could cause potential problems within the family if discovered so I would say give it a miss. But if you embark on a sexual liason, then for pete's sake keep it quiet.
I mean it's technically Incest so your family might not take so kindly to it... even if it is really just a technicality.
But whatever you do have fun and keep well.

 There are issues here that would cause a rift in your family. He may not be your first cousin, but he is a relation nonetheless. You would be better to keep your distance.
