is it allright for a boy and a girl to fall in love, if they are distant cousins?

I've done it before.  Again, it was a distant relation through marriage.\n\nTo me it depends a little on how close your family is.  If it is going to cause some odd family dynamics, you may not want to let the relationship create any problems in the family.  But if you do not have a close family and you don't think it will be a big issue, go for it.

No, it wouldn't cause any problems for you.  I'm a biologist, so I do know.  You and she are only third cousins, not second.  Your father and her father are first cousins, which means her father is your second cousin, and she is your third cousin.  You aren't closely related enough for it to make any difference, genetically speaking.  It's acceptable on moral and legal grounds, also.  If that's what you both want to do, I see no reason why you shouldn't.

I agree. They're friends. But they are growing up, so who knows what may come to turn friendship into romance

Just simply ask her, Cousins fall in love and get married frequently and there is nothing wrong with that as The royal familys do it in order to preserve the Royal bloodline there is no genitic or biblical reasons against it.

not at all, on a genetic level its only bad if you are with 2 generations of one another, and since you say the relation is thru marriage there are no blood ties between you and the one you like. \n\nKeep in mind if it fails the cousin in the middle may suffer as the two of you decide you don't like each other any more, but they have to be around you both

You are young, aren't you? Cousins play around all the time, it means nothing whatsoever.  And it ain't incest...good grief, we are not talking about making babies here, it is called experimentation. Relax, leave it alone and go about your life.

The question you need to ask yourself is, does he feel the same way about you? Answer it honestly, there is no reason to get hurt unnecessarily.\n\nIf he does feel the same way, there must be some other reason you don't want the rest of his family to know. In a nut shell, if he does like you as well, and you aren't first cousins, what's stopping you from exploring the possibility?\n\nBest wishes to you

My cousin had a long time relationship with this girl, he's from Canada and she's from the States. They meet over the Internet and now their married and still in love. I had a long distance relationship and it wasn't that hard to deal with as long as you don't go crazy with a "what if" in the back of your mind and trust your heart that every word spoken is true. Now we live together and I still love him even more then before, and am excited for the years to come. I say if it feels good, and you both can handle the distance between the two of you, give it a try and see as the days go by.

I think it's fine. Sure, there are risks, but it is possible. One of my friends fell in love w/ a guy she never met but fell in love with him anyways. Then, of course, they actually met and have plans to move in with each other very soon. It just depends

Love is a very broad feeling and I know what you mean even if most people don't. I believe it is okay to love all three of them at the same time. Life is complicated and what matters is that you are happy. Tell them all that you love them as well as loving others. If they can not accept it then it is not real love. Good Luck. :^)

the same way you love someone very close. it cant be love if you can't ove them from a distance.

Not absolutely..The age does not matter if both them feel and understand each other in very good sense.

No. You can love someone dearly, but not be in love with them. When you are "in love" then no one else matters. She/he is your world. You connect on so many different levels that its impossible to share that same feeling with another person @ the same time. No way.

I would. I will do anything for my daughters and my son and I know there is no chance of us getting together. Now, I know that's not what you meant, but the type of love you have for this person needs to change to the same type of love that you would have for your family members. I say that because I don't want you to miss out on having someone love you the way you love them and it sounds like you love this person very much to put their happiness over your own. But don't you think there is someone out there that deserves that type of love? And more importantly, don't you think you deserve to be loved like that? Continue being there for this person, but keep your eyes open for that other person out there that's waiting not only for your love but to love YOU in return....

The children, even though they are cousins, will be as related as full siblings. But they will not be anymore identical than regular brothers and sisters.
