 haha yeah, don't reveal it to family.
Keep it a deep secret and re-think it when you are older.
It's not illegal to have relationships with cousins, but there could be problems within the family if you choose to do so.
Good luck

 Yes i think this is normal.
Its probably just a crush though, i dont think you should risk revealing this as it could cause problems within the family.

It is not that unnatural to fancy your cousin, a few years ago people married their cousins all the time. Ever seen Pride and Prejuice? Emma? You don't have to look far to realise that cousins are married all around you. You should tell them how you feel - but not the parents. They're never very forgiving.

 It is not illegal in the UK to have a relationship with first cousins. However, some people see it as morally wrong and medically risky if a relationship ever produced children. It is not for me to say if your feelings are normal or not...after all what is 'normal'??? This is something for you to decide for yourself. However, you are obviously still young and have limited access to girls (perhaps just seeing those in school on top of your relatives). You should treat this as a teenage crush for now because in a few years when you reach adulthood then your life experience maybe different. I wouldn't act on your feelings as it may just cause embarrassment to the girl and awkwardness later on when you have to meet at family functions - you may find it normal to fancy a cousin but she may not.
