If you're 5th/6th cousins, you're barely even related. I'm pretty sure that in most places, it's legal for 3rd cousins to get married. Don't worry, this isn't considered incest by most people.

Fifth or 6th cousins is fine. It's way more awkward if you guys are 2nd or 1st. 5th or 6th is very distant.

5th/6th is very far apart, it's not like your first or second cousin. it's barely a family anymore, it's down to like 1%. think about it, if you believe that everyone was conceived from adam and eve, then we technically are all like millionth cousins, is that wrong? lol jk. but it's not bad, especially since you guys like each other alot, go for it. don't ruin your chances. oh and when people ask about you two, leave that part out, it may be frowned upon, but who really has to know?

It's not terrible to be in a relationship it just may be awkward if a situation comes up where you talk about it.... But from what you were saying it doesn't even sound like your completely sure you are cousins! fifth and sixth cousins is really distant though! I don't think you should worry about it. I only know 3 of my second cousins.... xoxoxo, i hope this helps!

Hey!!! I think 5th or 6th cousins is no problem. Some people even get married when they are 1st cousins. You guys really like eachother ... so you should go for it!
Good Luck

5th or 6th cousins are pretty distant. It's not like you're 1st cousins. Go for it anyways

Cousins are allowed to be together. I hate it when people refer to it as 'inbreeding' and so on. My Grandparents were 1st cousins and they've been married for nearly 50 years.

If it is 5th or 6th cousins, there is no problem. It's not like she's your sister so if you really care about each other then go out. If you both think it's too weird then you'll know to call it a day.
