A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So, I have these feelings for my cousin and he returns these feelings. We've kissed and spent a lot of time together. But we're distant cousins whose families barely know each other. Is it ok for us to feel so strongly about each other?

You are spending a lot of time together, you are of opposite sexes, you've been kissing all this qualifies you to claim that the feelings are real and strong, it happens. But you are young and your hormones are spiralling out of control at your age. What guarantee do you have that the two of you might work?? And if it doesn't work out you could lose him as your cousin as well, and i'm guessing he has become important to you so would you be willing to take that risk?? And the fact that you don't even mention your families shows you are not even considering how they might feel. There are plenty of guys out there...meet other people and give yourself time to get your cousin..repeat your cousin out your head.

Since you are very young, i don't think the strong feelings will last for long. In life everyday you find people who are more and more compatible with you.

If ever you end up badly, that will affect you both and your relations as you will keep coming across each other in family functions and so and so. So think well before doing anything. Actually you are already doing...

If you think you go well with each other and you think it will last then go for it as you have already taken the first step

Why ask?

You're already kissing and you really don't care what anyone thinks. You've got it all figured out.

It's okay to love each other as cousins.

You're not really in love; because you're too young. You have very active hormones, and kids your age rarely listen to the advice they're given about this sort of thing.

Sometimes young people have to go through a bad experience before you learn the consequences of certain things you do.

I'd says no it's not okay. Then it's up to you both to decide if you'll take that advice.
