    Well its normal to be attracted to someone that yo think is attractive,but I think for your own sake and your familys sake don't let it turn into something more then a silly crush.I don't think your crazy.It will pass,just make sure you let it

    It is normal to be attracted to interesting people. You have to realize that that is all it should be though. Anything more and it could end up causing a lot of problems. I wouldn't even come out and tell him your feelings that could be very awkward.

    Think about exactly what things attract you to him and then take those qualities and try and find them in someone that you can have a relationship with.

    Please don't let this attraction to your cousin be more then just a family crush, which I don't know is normal. You can't help who you are attracted to, especially if they are good and charming people, what you have to keep in mind is that you shouldn't allow yourself to think these feelings are normal, you also shouldn't act upon these feelings by flirting and acting like his girlfriend. Just remember and keep in mind that he's your COUSIN and things will never happen, because that's kind of wrong.

    Its normal hon. But don't act upon it. A simple infatuation is common. When I was pregnant, I dreamed I was married to my brother!

    From what I was told, it has to do with comfort. You feel comfratable with your cousin. Your attracted to him, and the fatct that he is part of your family, and you know him well, makes you feel safe. In a young mind:

    'its much safer to go with someone in your family that you know and trust than someone you only met last week'

    So, its OK, there is nothing 'wrong' with you just don't act upon it :)

    Yeah, are you assuming I am the opening poster or what? I've only been on this site for 1 day and no other posts intrigue me that much. Plus, if I was her why would I be answering my own questions? What would be the point? I don't know what you are implying but I don't think people find anything that odd on this website, especially if they are here to answer ODD questions... hmm?

    The attraction you're feeling is normal. But acting on it is not.

    You may have only been on this site 1 day, but someone you know well has been here for 2 years.

    Actually, The OP and Cry do not appear to be the same person.
