It sounds like your cousin is your best friend and the two of you click. You are at the age where love is about seeing yourself in someone else's eyes. I am going to take a guess and say you feel your best when you are with him. Most of us equate this feeling with love and love with sex. Don't be alarmed, you are in love with him, but it does not have to be sexual. These feelings will pass. Make sure you set boundaries. Get a boyfriend that always helps. Just to let him know that you are off limits and to remind yourself that he is off limits. I would even suggest double dating so that the two of you can have a clearer understanding of what kind of relationships are appropriate. You get kudos for worrying about this. Some people just go with the flow and end up sleeping with thier cousins and then regretting it. [ jmimms's advice column | Ask jmimms A Question ]

You enjoy his company, and that is okay. You shouldn't fight it. Your young, and your hormones are running wild right now. It is probably just a sign of admiration. Don't worry about it. Your crush will probably pass as you get older, but you will still enjoy his company. Until then, just have fun hanging out with him. However keep in mind, he is family, and if you tell him that you have a crush on him, it could ruin what would be a life-long relationship.
bballchick333 answered Thursday August 9 2007, 1:51 pm: Okay...
My friend had the same scenario, and i told her that you basically just have to forget about him
Unless you think it's okay to go out with him,
but if you ask me it would be wrong
So.. you know you can't have him so the best you can do is just forget about him
I know it might be hard.... because you can't really control your feelings... but you have to try at least
Maybe find a nice boy at school or something and maybe a new guy will make you forget about him
