Does anyone think that it is wrong or just weird to date your cousin's cousin from the other side of your cousins family...even though you and that person are not related at all other than you share a common cousin? I really like him and recently found out that he is gay as well, and that he likes me too. I am confused and need some objective input. Thank you.

If you're not related then I don't see it being wrong in any way. Some of your family members might find it awkward (the common cousin perhaps). However, it doesn't seem like that big a deal to me.

Yeah, I'm very disgusted by the thought of incest but I don't think that would at all phase me. Seriously I don't see the problem there.

No, not a problem. IF none of that happened here in my little town, everyone would be single. lol
