My cousin likes me more than a cousin!
I grew up with this one cousin and he's pretty great. We're like best friends but I never thought anything more of that. Well, today he told me he needed to tell me a secret and to keep it just between us. So, he tells me he has a crush on this really hot girl and that she's the hottest girl he's ever seen. He told me some perverted thing, too, but you get the idea. It's just how we talk to each other...like best friends! Anyway, I kept asking him who this girl was because I thought I could help him ask her out. He said he'd whisper it in my ear and then he leaned in and kissed me. I was really weirded out and told him to get away and to go home. I didn't tell anybody what happened but I've been ignoring him online all evening. I don't know how to handle this because it's like losing my cousin AND my best friend all at once.
For the record I do NOT like my cousin like this and had NO IDEA he thought of me the way he does. It's really nasty and not cool at all.
What do I do now? What should I say to him? Do I just ignore what happened?

You need to talk to him and make it really clear that you aren't interested in being anything other than his friend and cousin. Tell him it was inappropriate for him to kiss you and that you don't want him to do it again. It's important you don't send any mixed signals so be as clear and firm as you can but try to also give some consideration to his feelings, being rejected is never pleasant.
It will probably be awkward and you may need some distance from each other for a while but hopefully you'll be able to rebuild your friendship soon.
