writes:I have been talking to my third cousin who lives in a different state. He is coming to my state here in a week or so and we have been talking about spending time together and maybe going on some dates when he is here and who knows what else... My question is what do people think about third cousins dating or sleeping together? I at first was grossed out at the thought, but the more we talk the more I realize what an awesome guy he is and am losing concern about what others will say.

Actually, the stranger next door is equal to a half-third cousin twice removed or a half-fourth cousin and beyond...NOT a full third cousin. Great-great grandparents are not that far away, actually, and full third cousins share 2 out of 16 of them.

 although some people may be against it its not like he is your own brother now is it.its always the person inside that matters
and so if u like him just tell him and have faith in yourself.when it comes to matters like this u don't have to think about what others think just follow your heart cos a person has the right to love and be with anyone he or she wants to be with and thats a fundamental right isn't it?best of luck.....

You guys are barely even related. You shared great great grandparents.
Thats right. The parents of you grandparent's parents were related.
What does that make you? About as related to each other as you are to the strangers next door. Thats why it isn't illegal.

 It doesn't matter others might think. Just think about maybe perhaps what your family might think. Good luck!

reader, anonymous, writes (17 August 2008): I dated and married my 3rd cousin and we also had a child together who is 9 years old now. I can tell you what people might say. But I think you already know, You just want us to Conferm it. To tell you the truth at the time that we started dating and got married. I didnt care what people think and still dont. I was Happy at one time till he decided to be selfish and cheat. One thing I can tell you is fallow your heart if he gets down here and you have the time of your lives and fall in love I will be so happy for you just dont jump into anything your not comfortable with answering questions about. That was my hardest problem is when people asked how we met and how long we had known each other. Who intoduced us and things like that. Our daughter still does not know. I will tell her someday when I know she can handle the truth but until then everybody that knows just dont sayanything to her about it. I can tell her this and it is that she was conceved in LOVE and not jsut infatuation.
We are divorced now. I grew up he cheated and didn't grow up. He was 4 months younger than me I was 17 when we started dating. married at 18 and divorced at 20. I have grown up and he still (3 kids later)Has lost rights to 2 of 3 children only cause I told him I would never take her away like that. I did how ever just file with the atterney General to make him pay child support.
Hopefule the man u are talking in refrance to is alot more responcable than the one I chose.LOL
Hope this give you a little insite into what you were looking for.
Good Luck and GOD BLESS
I will Pray for you.

You are third cousins...Not related enough to care. So keep your head up, and keep loving each other as much as you can. Best of Luck Love!!
