To be honest, although the gap in the family is wider and you haven't grown up together, it's not ideal. My reservations come mainly from the families view of this, so it depends on your family...and I won't be able to help you guess their views on that one!
There will be those who read this and think 'well its her life so she has to do what she wants no matter what people think' but the reality of life is that it does matter to each of us what people think of us. Some of us brush it off with bravado but it's still there, family especially.

That means we are more distant, and we didnt grow up together, as he is 8 years older than me, and i havent seen him that much in my whole life.

Yeah, I gotta say that it's probably not a great idea to take things further. Cousins dating cousins is controvertial, but to be honest although it's legal it's probably not ok...but that's no disrespect to you, or any judgement on you for feeling the way you do. You're young, probably a little bit too young to make a decision that will have such potentially severe consequences, if you don't mind me saying so.
I'm sorry if you think I've been a little too blunt, but I think a straight answer is the best policy.

She's your cousin. Though there's nothing wrong with that, it will cause a lot of friction in your family. Personally, I'd keep her as a cousin and friend and find someone else.
