Ok to start I have this problem I think I'm in love with my cousin or maybe it's just a lust. Im 28 and she's 22 I always been close with her since she was a teenager but this attraction didn't start until late last year. I don't know why it started but it just did I think about her 24/7 I even told her I was sexually attracted to her and she said she never really looked at me like that but the way I feel is ok. I want more but I don't know what to do/say if anyone could help with advice it would be nice.

Can't give you advice, but I can steer you to some information. Spend a few bucks if it matters to you and go to sciencemag.org and order

An Association Between Kinship And Fertility of Human Couples. Agnar Helgason, Snaebjoern Palsson, Daniel F. Guobjartsson, Pordur Kristjansson and Karl Stefanson, SCIENCE vol 329 8 February 2008 page 813

They looked at the outcome of cousin marriages, both children and grandchildren. What they found was that a degree of kinship produced more children. No kinship produced fewer than replacement. Check it out yourself. Notice that What they call for instance "third cousin or closer" would translate to second cousin once removed. Also they have their own way of calculating kinship.

If you think wise, you could show the artilce to your cousin and chat about it.

Moo's Mum agony auntI was in love with one of my cousins once but now that I look back I realise it was just that he was older than me and used to spend a lot of time patiently playing games with my sister and I. He is still my favourite cousin but I don't think of him like that now. At the end of the day this is a case of unrequited love and you need to make peace with the fact that she doesn't feel the same way about you and move on. There will be someone else for you who will share your feelings
