First it started with a crush i spent 5 years like this n now i m head over heels in love with him. I try my best not to show it. His family is also conservative. Sometimes i feel that i cannot live without him n i get depressed.Please tell me hat should i do?When we see each other we barely talk.And how do i know a shy and conservative family boy who doesn't talk to me (with other cousins he does talk a bit more)couldn't serve me tea and asked my aunt to ask me if i wanted , and there is one thing more he always holds the door for me. i have never seen him hold it for anyone else.

Being in love with a cousin in some cultures is going to draw a lot of prejuduce as you can tell from some of the answers. They would say "go, go, go" if he weren't a cousin. If he is a first cousin, you might want to look at this article:An Association between Kinship and Fertility of Human Couples Agnar Helgason et al. SCIENCE vol. 329 no. 5864 February 8, 2008 page 813 – 816 You can buy it online from sciencemag.com. Make up your own mind, but you might decide first cousin is not the best biological choice. Someone who is no kin at all is obviously a bad choice.More important that the prejudices of strangers is the opinion of the people around you. Ask them all. Is he a good match? Maybe word will get back to him. If everybody is happy with the idea, and you think the kinship is not too close, next time he holds the door for you, stop half way through and tell him how nice he looks.I wish you the best of luck and happiness.
