AngelofMercy answered Tuesday January 1 2008, 1:02 pm: The other person is right, this cousin is close to you so you feel drawn to him. If you have just moved here from another country, or have been here but not your whole life, you are feeling a bond with them because it is what you know. That is why we connect with people, because they have the same attributes (such as: same heritage, same feelings on stuff, same outlook, same interest, etc..) There is nothing wrong with feeling that bond, but don't pursue dating your cousin. That wouldn't be good. However, yes the friend that is not related, is fair game. Just a thought though, mix and mingle, meet new friends, and develop bonds with other cultures. I promise we don't bite!! ;) Good Luck!! [ AngelofMercy's advice column | Ask AngelofMercy A Question ]

You can't date your cousin because that is family but you could date your family-friend. I don't think your family would find it weird. but for now it is just a crush. it will probably stop soon and you can meet a guy that you can like without feeling awkward [ hometex9's advice column | Ask hometex9 A Question ]
