I've been in your shoes recently. I know every situation is unique so I don't know how helpful this will actually be.

I started crushing hard on my cousin, and a couple weeks later I confessed it to her. She was shocked, but calm and we talked it out. She declined but were still best friends and still hang out all the time but the anxiety is gone. so in my case it was the best thing to do rather than drive y self cray trying to suppress the thought. once it got out it subsided.

I still have these feelings for her but, they don't freak me out anymore, they're just there, and in a way it's made us closer with out going THAT far. Just hang in there you'll know what you want to do when it comes around.

Did you know there are 19 states in America where it is legal to be with your cousin?

Do u have a brother? Imagine what it'd be like dating ur brother. Yea he's hot, but what do u really have in common? Family. It'd prob be very hard an awkward to break the barrier of talking about family. I wouldn't advise it. Look for others guys to get ur mind off him. Try to think of him as a brother, hopefully this will turn u off, not on. Um... I dnt rele know what else to say. Think about the disapproval ud get from ur family, not to mention the eembarassment if he found out and didn't feel the ssame. Make good choices

I say don't worry too much about it.

I think everyone has that cousin who is REALLY hot, and you just cant help but notice!

I think try and stop THINKING about him like that, and think of the little kid he used to be, and hopefully that will make you sway into the right direction!

I haven't been in your position but I hope this advice helps you at least a little bit!

Just try to keep in mind none of your friends will understand and they will all make fun of you for being a "kissing cousin"

not to mention you two being involved romantically will freak both of your parents out. When you go to this picnic avoid him hang out with your female cousins or just try to be as annoying as possible just so he won't feel attracted to you either. I don't know but cousins are just too close a relation to be fooling around with. There are plenty of non-related boys around to crush on. Good luck.
