If anything is followed by "cousin" I wouldn't bother. To me that's still a little too close to home.

I had 3 rd cousins marry, and it was only at their engagement they realized they were related. No one ever clicked, and by then they didn't care.
7 years on they have 3 kids, all great kids and one is a potential Mensa member.. was reading at age 1 etc.

In some states, it is legal to marry your FIRST cousin. This is true in mine, the two north of it, and the one south of it.
Personally, I think it is a bit creepy to marry anyone in your family no matter how far out they are.
It is the person’s choice though. They have even discovered that children born to siblings or even parent/child (major ewwwww!) are not slow or abnormal. It matters only what traits run in that family. Those traits determine what it passed on to the child.
Still, there is a smart reason why some things are illegal. It is icky. You also have to deal with the stress from society. No matter what you think, that is difficult on any relationship.

It's a little iffy, but whatever you want to do you should. That's pretty distantly related after all, I don't even know any of my second and third cousins.

It's preferable to dating outside of your race. However there's no reason to consider cousins these days because you are not as isolated as people were thousands of years ago.

Yes, but check with a Dr. before having kids, they could have genetic mutations, so you might not want to reproduce.

Only after you break up with the first one.

Well I wouldn't. But I heard its ok. But you really shouldn't date family members.

For me no but it all comes down to personal preference. In the end it will be you who makes the choice.
