I'm 15 years old male and my cousin is 21 years old female

I've liked my cousin for well over about 2 years and ive kept it a secret.

I always knew that she wouldn't like me back but recently over the last few months when i've been with her shes acted very flirt with me showing her cleaveage to me and talking about relationships and other stuff(but i won't go into greater detail) so i think she might like me too.

What should I do? Should I play along with her?

cindy 15 agony auntwell cousins can be a little close but i really dont think she has a crush but sees u as a person who could talk too about relationships and that and besides your young and you are bound to learn about sex and all that stuff so maybe your cousin is just teaching you things if u were a girl it would be the same

in my eyes she doesnt like you but you got the wrong inpression i mean my cousin who is also female as i amn talks to me about these thin and i think its exacly the same and believe or not i am the same age

she's using you to boost her own ego. she probably thinks its fun and harmless to play with you but in reality, she's messing with your head. the next time she flashes the cleavage, make a comment about how slutty 20 something women are these days. and next time she starts talking relationships, tell her that old peoples sex lives dont interest you. and if she still keeps it up, just say it right out that she's a pricktease and that you have no interest in her. simple as.

I wouldnt recommend it. You could get in serious trouble if anyone found out. Incest isn't exactly accepted the way it used to be, even with cousins. If you like her and you think it's worth the risk then go for it. But think before you do anything. If you play along and give her an impression she didnt actually mean to give you, then you could look like a complete moron.

Well, being your cousin's age, I would never hook up with a 15 year old. I'm sure you're cute, but the age gap (at that age) is too big. She's prolly in college, you're in highschool. She is probably independent (apartment, car, etc.) you're not. She can go out to drink, you can't. Etc. There are too many differences there.

Also, she's a cousin. Which means it's a no-no to hook up with her regardless of her age. She's probably a naughty girl, enjoying your attention but I doubt she means anything with it.

That said, she seems to talk to you about private things, so that is pretty confusing. I would confront her with it. Just tell her you like her but don't know what to think. That'll force her to show weather she means business or if it's all just play.

Good luck!

I think its a bad idea without asking her first. I would ask if she really likes you before asuming she does. She could just be playing, i mean you are 6 years age difference.

dmartin89 agony auntNo she doesnt like you. Just because she has a cleavage it doesnt mean its there for you.

She is talking to you about relationships/sex because you are a young boy and she just wants to get stuff out of her head. If you were a girl she would be doing the same things.

Flirting isnt always sexual, the way she does it she proberly thinks she just being funny and kind to you.

I know that at 15 you are hormonal, but your 21 year old cousin does not like you in a sexual way.
