I have a dilema like most of you...here's my story. There's this guy who likes me alot and I think he's okay too. The problem is: He's the brother of my cousins husband. My cousin married this guy and this guy has a younger brother. He's 26 and I'm 28. He knows I've never dated before nor have I ever been in a relationship with anyone. I recently told him my age yet he continues to like me. The other problem is: is he in a way my cousin? I never thought about it until my friend brought it up and told me that he's my cousin indireclty since his brother married my cousin. Is that true? I need advice as to what am I suppose to do. He likes me alot and he shows it by texting me everyday and calling me to see how I'm doing. He also stated that he really likes me and won't do anything to hurt me in any way. He knows I have insecurities when it comes to dating. I told him I don't trust guys as far as dating goes. He says he'll be patient until I'm ready to date. What should I do? Thank you.

no he isn't your cousin!, and it sounds like he is a good guy, and you should pursue it, slowly, and see where it takes you... best of luck!

I really think you should give this guy a chance if he likes you that much. Most guys won't be patient with gurls. No he is not related to you. It is by marraige and that is your cousins husbands brother. Yall do not have the same blood or anything. I belive that if i was you and have never been in a relationship that i would give it a try. I mean if it dont work you can always break up with him. You see there is nothing wrond with dating somebody that is sorta in ur family as long as yall are not really kin. I have dated my brothers girlfriends brother before. Just give him a chance i think.

First of all he's not your cousin, that only applies to blood relatives, so you're fine on that front. I think you should reciprocate, give him the attention you want and let him into your life. He sounds like a decent guy based on what you said, and use him (not in a bad way) as a way to get experience on the dating scene by asking questions about things that others take for granted and get input from your girlfriends about things to wear and things to do, it's never too late to date and to go out there, and there is nothing better than having someone to "practice" doing this with.

Yes, you should definitely date him! He's not related to you at all and that's cool that you have some family in common already. He's only 2 years younger than you so that's not a big deal either. He sounds really nice and patient which at that age is really hard to find. Why don't you trust guys? And how will you know if you've never dated before? You should definitely go out with him and see if you really like him!

Omg, I don't understand why u still waiting! First of all, he is NOT your cousin in any way!!!! He is not your blood and that means u can date him. And the age thing is not a problem, it's only two years, I know some couples where the age difference is much bigger. And he obviously likes u very much so I say: go for it!!!! Good luck ;)

Ok, you are in no way related to him. So I'd say its ok to date him. He seems like a nice guy and is willing to be patient with you so go for it. Just makes sure he knows up front that he needs to take things slow with consideration to your insecurities and your need to not move things forward too fast. Wish you all the luck.

As long as you are not related by blood, you are fine. There is nothing wrong with dating a sibling of someone your cousin married. Do not let that prevent you from exploring this romance.
Two years age difference is nothing. If he likes you and if you like him.. whats preventing you two from getting together ?

He sounds like a very good man that is willing to grow as a person with you. I think you should give this man a chance, just take things slow for a while. If he's willing to Wait for you I know he would be okay with taking things slow.
P.S. you are not related to him. he's her husbands brother not her brother.

He is not your cousin. Now he's a brother-in-law to your cousin. But that's where it ends.
Feel free to explore where this could go between you two.

Since he's he married that means he would be cheating on his wife. Second of all It doesn't matter that your 2 years older. Third of all you don't want to do that behind your cousins back when your family. But date him sooner and not later. Dont wait til' you're 40. You need to date him lots of times to get to know 'em better. And dont't forget to choose me as your best answer! Your Welcome!
