Is It wrong?

I seem to have fallen in love with my cousin. I believe that a person cannot help who they fall in love with, it just happens. If that is true and I love my cousin, is it wrong? how can it be if a person has no control over who they love. All I have to do is think about this person and a smile is on my face.
Do you think it's normal?

You are right, we can not help who we fall in love with. Maybe you should re-evalute your descion though. Really think about the concequences of your actions. After all, maybe you are just in love with her to be in love. Try connecting with someone else and see how you feel. Your cousin might also not feel the same way also.

it's normal to have these thoughts but not normal to actually do it.

Who cares... you'll be "in love with" someone new in a few weeks.

Being in love with someone doesn't mean it has to be sexual. I love my cousins. Sometimes thinking about a person brings a smile to my face. Doesn't mean there's anything sexual about it.

This is my opinion, and I don't know if it's right or not, but I think that falling in love is part choice. Some of it is not choice, but some of it is.

OK, looks like i may be the only compassionate person commenting on here...Yes it is normal to feel this way about anyone, including your cousin. And unlike the other here that try to make out like its a passing phase and you will be "in love" with someone else soon enough...ignore them. I'm not saying that you should get together coz that may cause a lot of family problems, but for your own peace of mind, dont worry about it. If it makes you happy to think about her then think away!

did you know that in a lot of cultures, not only is marrying your cousin ok, but preferred? and that in many states, it's not even illegal. it's just social convention that tells us we can't marry first cousins (but step grandparents are off limits). you're in love and good for you. if he makes you happy, then good for you. personally, grab him and run off to vegas or vermont ;) and tie the knot. won't that make xmas dinner scandalous!
as mentioned above, it is preferred to marry cousins. A study was launched to see if the western rumours of poor genetics etc was true. After about 3 Generations of cousin marrying the chance of inheritaining a genetic condition rise by about 1%.

So yeah, don't worry about it.

Kick her in the chin to circumsize yerself.
I read an article once in science news that says that breeding with one's cousin does not cause genetic defects. Therefore I don't see anything wrong with it.
As long as one of you is named Mordecai, Charleen, Cooter, or Betty Lou, it's all good.
Go for it. Ask your aunt if she'd like some. I'd draw the line with grandma, however.
Stick you finger down the back of her pants to see if she goes for it.

I like fat girls so I like my cousin too.

I vote Normal.
