I'm In Love With My Cousin.

I love my cousin too

I love my cousin too

wow i feel the same way im 17 (male) my cousin shes only 14 but we both realy like eachother but are family wouldnt like it verry much if they found out. we have made out several times and every time we do it just makes it better and better we both have been talking alot and want to get together on a day that her mom dont got to work so we can have sex but im still contomplaiting cuz if our family found out we would never be able to see eachother again.

I'm in the same situation. I'm 19 and she's 16. For years we've only seen eachother 5 or 6 times a year. Whenever we do see eachother we're together the entire time just talking about random things. The whole family seems to think she has a crush on me but Ican never tell for sure. All I know is that whenever we're together I can't take my eyes off her. She's so beautiful and intelligent. I'm just worried that if I tell her how I feel that despite our family's belief, she won't feel the same way. Also, since no one in the family has commented on whether or not they do or would approve of it, I'm worried about that as well. Should I tell her and risk the good relationship that we have if she doesnt feel the same, but also risk alienating our family if she does?

sorry but i just think its weird to LOVE someone (your related too)...i dont have a problem with it but for you people who do LOVE your cousins or brother/sisters or woever else i wish you good luck

And i want to talk to her more and get to kinow her more but idk how she lives three hours awy and i want to hold her in my arms and love her i am in the 9th grade and ive been single since the 6th and i long for love so i might be a hopless romantic so any help? Comment back

Alright mine might be a little more lame i am a 14 year old boy and i went to a baby shower yesterday and some of my cousins were there and there is four of us that are the same age and on of them is so beautiful to me and we havent seen each other in so long and when i saw her that day i got the most amazing feeling in my stomach she looked so beautiful and awestrucking but i was to shy to talk to her and the thing that sucked the most was that she met all of my top fetishes she has pale skin for a Mexican and green eyes and black hair and last night i had the naughtiest dream ever involving her and Im glad Im not the only one in this situation

well, my situation is similar but I a 20 year old dude and my female cousin is 28. We are currently bf/gf and have been for 2 years officially. What I did was that I brought up the courage to tell her my emotions that i have for him/her, and she understood. If you want to be with your cousin, just tell him/her that you love him/her more than a cousin. If he/she understands, he/she would try to calm u down and accept that fact. but for now, be very close to him/her by doing cute stuff for him like helping him/her through some personal problems, that way he/she garners some emotions for you, and once you are at lest 17, tell him/her the truth and if he/she has those feelings for ya, he/she would gladly be your bf/gf, if not, he/she would still love ya, but it wont be the same. Hence, you would have to move on from that point on. don't worry if you cousin ain't your bf/gf right now, if u two were ment to be together, it will happen!!! :-) NOTE: this comment applies who want more from their cousin relationship. may God be with you on your journey in life and bless you all !!!!!

As a young teen I did have a some moments with my cousin's. It was obvious that we had feelings for each other. One night as we got in from a social event all the family member's were present and we both got and ***-chewing from all the relatives and family members. We were told tonight is the last time to see each other and after that NO-MORE!. My culture don't allow close cousins to have relationships, forbidden and I didn't know we were cousins till the whole plate got spilled.. Now I'm thinking that we should had some real sex when they told us this is your last evening together. LOL..As guy's we always joked that with cousins thats where you learn about sex.lmao!

Hi I'm 14 and I'm in love with my cousin whose 15 we've been dating for almost a month and a half now and it was the best decision I ever made me and him just clicked I was shy at first but so was he as we slowly came out of our shells together I noticed I had feelings for him in a more intamit way and so did he. I love him very much and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him<3 and when it comes to love I don't think age matters it's just about believing ( which not many couples have ) but I believe in him and he believes in me and we support eachother =] we make decisions together and even though our relationship is long distance ( he lives TEN HOURS away from me) we make it work we communicate over Facebook daily. But only very few people know about us ( I could count off one hand how many people know) and our family still doesn't know. But some of the smartest men married their cousins ( Charles Darwin and enstine ) plus the risk of deformation when having a child with your cousin is only ONE percent higher than having a child with someone your not related to PLUS everyone in the world is ATLEAST your 40th or 50th cousin and if you doubt my facts google it :] so in the end I'm pro shaggin cousins!

Dear readers,

I am 14 and I am in love with my cousin (whom is 15) I hadn't seen him in years until I saw him at Christmas at a family reunion thingy. When I saw him I got butterflies but I tried to ignore this feeling since we were cousins but strangely I thought he had this feeling towards me too by the end of the week we were best buds and it was hard to say goodbye but we kept in touch on Facebook and then I came back up (north near where he lives) for another family reunion we saw eachother again and it was like two peas I'm a pod we went baby sitting together for 3 hours it was very late when the parents of the children got home but the kids went straigt to bed when we got there so there was alot of time to talk we talked about everything mostly highschool because I'm just starting this year and he is going into his second year but we started cuddling and that seemed fine but when we go back we had to share a tent which I didnt mind. But when we were in there he told me he loved me and that I was his favorite cousin which I shrugged off because cousins love cousins right ? So he kissed me on the cheek and then we fell asleep on the second night it was pretty much the same thing. But on the third night things changed. He kissed me and I kissed him back and from that moment on we were insepreable he was like my little shadow. And I diet mind anyways we have been dating for a month and a bit now even though it is long distance =( which I wish it wasn't cause it's so hard to be away from him , so in response to most of questions and replys , No it's not wrong to date your cousins, yes it's possible for defects but highly unlikely , and young love is the best live because when you get old you stop believing and that's what love is all about believing you can make it through even the roughest times and Ik he has helped me, and kinda saved me from myself in a way, I would do anything for him and Ik he would do the same. So yes I think dating your cousin is just fine, and I hope more people will grow up and realize that its not "gross" because Darwin dated his cousin and so did instien some of the smartest men in history ... So what does that say ? People are just too stupid to realize that what they love is closer than they think and you can't help when, why or who they fall in love with. So to finally conclude I hope u all enjoyed and learned something =].

wow! i too am in a cousin relationship for some years now secretly. its crazy how theres so many of us and all different ages. i really wanna commend mexicana292 as shes the 1st i ever heard on these cousin admissions who isnt with a cousin or anything! awesome! keep it up and keep sharing them stories and experiences, it makes others including myself feel better about themselves knowing they aint the only ones :)

My BFF is now dating her cousin (behind their parents' backs...) because one day when they were alone, he kissed her. Then she realized how much she liked him, which she had previously been trying to deny to herself because they were cousins, now she loves him so much she doesn't care anymore.



My point is, make a move. That's the best way to get her to realize that she likes you back and/ or start a relationship.



Some people are judgmental about cousin couples (one of our friends is) but most people acknowledge that love is love (I don't see any problem with it, and neither do the other 2 friends my BFF has confided in). Cousin marriage is now legal in most states, and children of cousin couples are no more likely to have any kind of birth defect than children born when their parents are 35 or older.



And even if things go wrong, since you are cousins you are bound to make up, move on, and stay close in a non-romantic way.



Good luck! :)

I have been looking for something like this!! My cousin is 26 and so am I we have been in love with each other since we were kids but we were both afraid to admit it!! Till 1 month ago we started texting 24 hours a day. One day I told him wow your like my perfect guy to bad you my cousin he randomly said I know it sucks I really had a crush on you..blah blah blah well yesterday we both admitted we were falling in love with each other we just also worry about the "family" issue we don't want to disappoint them. But we are secretly dating and secretly madly in love!! We talk, text and pretend we are not related I love him he loves me we don't care it's just me and him always!!!

wow it's very good to know I'm not all alone....my cousin is 24 and I'm 19...it first started when i was over at his and we watched a film on his sofa and i was like wow I dunno what I'm feeling but it felt so natural... I was about 15. then at our cousins birthday we had a drunken kiss, I totally didn't know what to think and I passed it off as a drunken mistake. but I've just seen him again at his brothers wedding and we got drunk and kissed and ended up having sex...it's a 4 day wedding so we kept getting drunk, kissed once more. but during the day he ignored me and on the last night I saw him, we were sober and I tried to kiss him and he moved. I really don't know what to think but I'm starting to think I love him and I really don't know what to do any more. I hate the fact he slept with me and then seemed to near enough blank me.

I am 16 , and he's 26 !!!!!!!!!!!! and i'm so in love with him , and I guess he is too , It hurts so much , I can not stop thinking about him :(

I love these comments. They make me feel so alike all of you! Okay so here is my situation. My family is all very close to each other. My mom has 4 other siblings so I have a lot of cousins. My moms sister has three boys, and one of them (youngest) is about a year older than me. I'm 19 and he's 20, but we are the same age just for a few months. Anyways, Ever since we were little kids we always had so much fun together. And when I was about 15/16 I started to feel these strong feelings for him. When we are at a big family reunion a couple of years ago, we are all eating lunch and I looked over at him and he nodded toward a near by pond. I nodded back saying okay, and we left the rest of the family to be by ourselves. But nothing happened, my brothers joined us. Eliminating any chance. We always have a blast together, he is my best friend. Always makes me laugh, knows my deepest, worst secrets and still doesn't judge me. Ever summer we have this tradition (he lives 5 hours away) where we go to one of our houses (we switch back and forth every summer) and we go to a theme park. Just the two of us. I love it because it gives us so much bonding time. When my other female cousin got married, I danced with him at the wedding. But only because people wanted us to, because I don't show very much how I feel about him. My grandmother has always said (overtime she visits) "If only you two weren't related" It tears me up inside. I love him, very much. I am petrified to tell him, because I do NOT want to ruin this great relationship I have with him now. I'm glad that I know how every one feels too, I'm not the only one.

I understand your situation. I'm a very smart woman and all but i cant stop wanting my so-called cousin. When we were little we used to do things like go places and make out and dry hump. Lol. We got seperated for a long time. I'm talking 10 years and when i seen him again those feelings were still there. We slept together 2. Now i dont know how to feel about us be family. My mom says she dont think he is her cousins son but she doesnt know we like each other. I've never told anyone. My brothers knew about it when we were younger. That was just something we did then, Me and my cousin never my brothers. Now we are both grown and he wants to come to where i am and honestly i want him here. Its confusing because i dont know how to find out if we are really related. Im not in love, Just in like and lust.

i too feel the same, my cousin and i always had this connection and when it was fam reunions i would always see her but never get her name right and now she is about to graduate HS and i Graduate nxt year but i can tell i have feelings for her, we tlk about everything even our sex life and she has hinted at wishing she had a guy like me several times.. idk my fam is very militaristic and i doubt this would sit well with them

I love my cousin too, we're both 15. We've been best friends since 3 years old and i fallen in love with him. I think he feels the same because sometimes i see him staring at me and smiling at me. It sucks though because our family would not let us be together :( I'm to scared to tell him how i feel because he might think it's weird. What should i do?

My cuzin and I are both the sane age and have admitted to liking each other but I have a few problems...when I see him with other girls I grow jealous and tounge tied. I also get sad and my heart literally starts to ach :(

What's wrong with me?!

...am I falling in love with him...?

We've been talking for about 2 years now and have fought and thought about all of this long and hard and he wants to kiss me but he can't be my first kiss because then what am I going to tell my friends when they ask me who my first kiss was!? I don't know how I can get along without him! I'm having trouble thinking or liking anyone else! He is just sooo amazing! x)

I had never known my cousin, I'm canadian, he's american. We met when we were really young.

Recently, I went to visit my Aunt and and my cousin. We got along so well, too well. It seemed like we had known each other for the entirety of our lives. by the third day I was there, we were sleeping in the same bed, gazing into each other's eyes and he gave me hour long foot rubs all the time. I don't know if it was his personality or if he truly felt something for me. But he brought me everywhere with him, I met all his friends, and he was very protective of me. I'd never felt feelings like this before and I took me a long time to finally admit to myself that I was in love with him. Which I absolutely am. We're perfect for each other. Now that i'm home, I've been steadily going down hill without him. Worrying about why he shows little interest in communicating with me.... I have already been trying to arrange another trip to go see my "family" I only long to see him.

I've spent the last two weeks totally beside myself. Sobbing every time I think about the way he held me and all of the close moments we shared. I am scared that he feels the same way I do and that he's afraid of staying close to me because both our hearts will be broken... or maybe he doesn't even love me. Maybe I'm just another relative to him . I will remain devastated until I see him again in 3 months.

wow! it amazes me that there's so many of us in the modern world :) I mean, I'm so glad I stumbled onto this site when I did. EP has helped me cope with a few issues I've been going thru & had. i, too have been wit & am currently wit a 1st cousin, for a lack of better terms. In stories & experiences I've experienced, which I've shared here on EP, feel free & check out & comment & ask questions if you'd like :) but over the years, ive had the pleasure of being asked/approached (my 1st 1st cuz experience) & being the instigator/asker a cousin & being rejected :( the only advice I have is it is/gets complicated & I too seek others' advice when it's avail/offered or if I see something here. but be prepared to deal wit the extreme extreme weirdness that comes when/if the feeling isnt mutual. I was a young teens-aged eager male at the time & was more like lust. but I'll also say is if the feeling is mutual & u do get together, it's the most wonderful kinda love I've thus experienced:) still hiding my/our current affair & is difficult but like the drunks say, I/we just take it a day @ a time :)

well I'm 18 and I think I'm in love with cousin too or obsessed its so weird with him he's 28 yrs old & single, and so there's a ten year difference, he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met I didn't fall in love with the way he looked I fell in love with his heart...well we been tlkn for a more than a year already..literally like everyday he txt messages me or calls me..he lives miles from me he tells me nicest words any guy can say he cares soo much a lot of ppl say its family love, but I feel something different with him like the first time I met him I didn't know he was my cousin so it was like love at first site I felt something for him, well we tlk all the time 24/7 a lot of ppl say our whole life revolves around each other I haven't had the courage to tell the way I truly feel I'm too scared I might lose his friendship or whatever you want to call it...& lk I cry if we get mad at each other or sometimes if he tlks about a girl my stomach starts turning idk what to do..today when he txt me I didn't txt him back because I feel like I'm just hurting myself and just gonna end up with a broken heart I believe in God and I always prays asking Y is this happening to me and for him to send me a sign, but ntn ever happens! I need HELP!! This is just getting too crazzzzyy!!

I recently moved to Mexico to study cosmetology and I started hanging out my cousin. In Mexico it is customary to greet family and friends with a kiss on the cheek and whenever my cousin would kiss me on the cheek, I´d get butterflies in my stomach. We hang out non stop. One day I went to his house and we were laying in bed watching TV, I punched him jokingly and he started tickling me, and then it turned into a pillow fight, finally we relaxed and I put my head on his chest. I figured all of this was just family love, but then the next day I came over and again we were in bed watching TV, and cuddling, he told me he was going to kiss me on the cheek and then before I knew it out of pure instinct and gut logic, I kissed him on the mouth. We made out the whole time after that. We decided to keep all of this just between us, our little secret. The only problem is I wear my heart on my sleeve and my grandma I think suspects something weird is going on. I´m going to have to be more discreet!

I was drinking with my cousin when I´ve turned 16 years old (he 20) back in 2004, & at the time goes by we suddenly kissed & had sex. The situation was akward in the first time. But the sex were so hot that we´ve had kept having sex in the next 4 years. In meanwhile we became best-friends & we were together all the time & at last we fell in love very deeply. We didn´t know what to do, we were holding eachother & going romance when his parents went to sleep. At last we couldn´t hold on to keep this huge romantic secret, so I told my mom & dad, & they supported me wholeheartly. He also told to his parents also, his mother was supportive but his father (my uncle. LoL) just hated it, but I just ignored him & just teased him to humiliate him. My cousin & I were together as couples in three years, we were living in paradise. But now we are not together anymore, he have some psychotic problems & he´s on pills. So if you two cousins are really seriously in love with eachother, don´t hold on to it as a secret, tell the world that you love eachother. Nobody can never destroy love. Good luck!

so glad I'm not alone! except there's 13 years difference between me and my cousin. he's 27 in march and I'm 14 in April. he doesn't have a girlfriend which is good for me. But he has had a rough past the last few months because of girlfriends. He also lives in a different state and i miss him so much! he said he is going to come over to stay with us for a while but I'm just hanging out to know when he is coming over! i don't know whether to tell him that i like him because he is so much older! please help me! thanks (:
