Dear Cupid

I need help a.s.a.p.

I am in love with my cousin who is 2 years older then me and I think she likes me back.

I know its wrong so I tried to go out with other girls but I always compare them and I realize that no one is better then her. I want to be with her but like I said I know its wrong, since we are related. What should we do? Should we start a serious relationship? Please help us

Actually it is not proven that mating with family members cause birth defects, you could look more information up on that matter for yourself. I think dating your cousin will have harsh effects on your family as well as on the two of you. Is it something your willing to hide? If family is not a issue, even though it is taboo, (and makeing sure it's legal) you could pursue one another. As long as your not hurting others (other family members most likely in this case). It's definitly the two of you have to discuss very carefully together.

I agree that you don't know if she's just expressing affectionate familial feelings. You should actively seek out and see other people, not necessarily for love, but just to have fun, and get your mind off her.

guylovesme agony auntScientifically speaking its not good to reproduce with members of the family. It leads to genetic mutations...

Im okay with it as long as you dont think about having kids, they might come out a little emptyheaded...

Sex Kitten agony auntHi There

Personally I don't think it is a good idea for you to be seeing your cousin, so my advice would be to steer clear. Could you moving somewhere else away from her to a new place be an option? - Just so that you can try and move on and try to fall in love with someone else. Plus you don't really know her true feelings about you, - you're just guessing that she likes you back. Maybe her feelings towards you are just affectionate-family-type-feelings rather than sexual feelings. Perhaps you should talk to her about it all first.

It might be against the law where you are, depending on which state you're in.
