What do you do when you fall in love with your cousin?

The first problem is that he's a blood cousin. i didnt grow up with him though, and i never knew him until about 2 years ago. but, we've grown very close in the past 2 years. so i dont really consider him my family. he's become like my best friend, i tell him everything and as far as i know, he tells me everything. i swear with everything he knows about me he could ruin my life in a second...and for the past 8 months ive developed strong feelings for him. its kind of embarrassing but i need to know what to do. the second problem is he's much older. not like, grand dad old. but older. he knows the feelings, and also returns the feelings.. which is also embarrassing, but he said he does. the last problem is the most difficult. it would be considered gross by everyone we know if anything were to happen. so since hes older, he is more logical and as mush as he says he feels the same, he knows it wouldn't be possible. i know the feelings are strong, and very strong because i actually get depressed thinking that nothing can come out of this.I Am completely and hopelessly in love with him. And people frown upon this type of thing, but when the feelings are mutual for both of us, yet we both know how bad it is in the eyes of everyone else.. so, what do you do in such a hopeless situation?What do you do when you fall in love with your cousin?
I believe that if two people flee the same about each other than its not a crime...is not like you are raping a under age person and stuff like that. People and society can be very narrow minded and judghmental. There is no guaranty in life and at the same time you will never know for sure untill u have done it!!!....For those who want to tell what not to do when they them self are in no place to do so...think again...go a head and find out what life holds for you to have in all experince.What do you do when you fall in love with your cousin?
Don't act upon it. Just wait until you get over each other. Right now it seems like that will never happen, but it will.
wow this is a real problem, i never really thot about this.


okay.. yall are blood, so doing something WOULD be wierd.


but if YOU and HIM feel comfy, well, just do what you feel is right and forget about what ppl think.
