and we have some decent chemistry together
Nice choice of words there.
Yeah I wanted to keep simple not go into detail about how she offers more than physical or intellectual engagement but can understand me and we can connect on an emotional level...

I have nothing against dating a close relative. But you see the thing is, you're still too young. If you make this decision now and a few months later you both realise that it isn't working out too well and break up, it would not only have been a waste of time and effort but your family probably never see you in the same way ever again.

It would be better if you just waited. Once you're an adult you can let everybody else just fuck themsleves and do what you want. But right now, you don't have that option.

Yeah, it's definitely best to keep this under wraps for now. People are going to react badly to this because people are, by and large, irrational and pig-headed. You need to be sure this girl is worth it before you start shouting about it from the rooftops. Also--and I can't stress this enough--you need to be sure that you can support yourselves financially. If you're both still dependent on your family when you reveal your relationship to them, they might attempt to use economic pressure to force the two of you apart. It's an ugly thought, but it's also a fairly likely possibility.
I'm finishing up high school and will be attending a local college in September for game art and design(yeah I know 'Super Nerd') but I already have a damn good job under my dad pushing papers all day.

I hade a relationship my family didn't approve of and i must say it was a total nightmare. We had a lot of fun but the scrutiny eventually broke me down.

You're so don't expect this to be your final relationship, and if it does end it will be awkward as hell. For the time being though, enjoy yourself.

Yeah that's what I thought too. But his parents might not be so open-minded I figure.

How closely related are you exactly? Because I think your family(ies) would find that to be an extremely uncomfortable to be around. But hey youse guys are young, so it's not entirely the end of the world and it sounds like your respective families aren't really that close, if you haven't seen her in a while.
In perspective, I once hooked up with my cousin, but she was my mom's half-brother's stepdaughter (I'm not making this up), so there was no blood relation (not a big deal) but the creep factor was there at least minimally, so we kept it somewhat hush-hush. Also, marrying your first cousin is legal here in Manitoba(Canada) too.
Were not related by blood but we are fairly close due to some adoption that happened farther up the family tree...
I'd give it time...if there is something there then tell them (however if someone already knows its probably best to say now before they do), if its not blood related then I guess that would be better than if it is. If it were my family I wouldn't exactly like it and I recommend against it, but really anything anyone says doesn't matter as much as the way YOU feel about it. Just try not to screw things up with your family...

Unless you are either The President of The United States, or a successful musician, dating your cousin is a recipe for disaster. You don't want to get shunned from society before you have a chance to prove your worth.

What is this? I don't even...
Ok, ok, you want my advice? Don't go through with this, or at the very least take a good long look at what would happen when everyone else finds out. If you two really and truly feel for eachother in this way go ahead, but there will be people who won't accept it and you better be ready to weather that storm or it will never last.

Yeah my grandparents in particular are super conservative...

If you believe in God then you believe in Adam and Eve which means that technically everyone is related to everyone therefore its been done many a time over and over again
Right now scientists think that that is true God or no God. (Its 1#) http://www.cracked.com/article_18649_5-ridiculous-ancient-beliefs-that-turned-out-to-be-true_p2.html

You don't appear to be closely related, so I say go for it! /brofive

Best keep it under wraps unless it gets really serious though. Your family has no need to know.
She's not your sister. Fuck social taboos.

I feel like I should say that "Go for it, love's great. If you love her who cares. etc etc"

But I just feel weird supporting this.

Mostly just because you're both teenagers and this probably won't amount to anything, and you wouldn't want to ruin your relationship with your family.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it isn't completely weird. In any case, it sounds like you've made up your mind despite what others have said...I'd still recommend against it.

Just...be careful, alright? I'd recommend that you finish college before telling anyone, but if you don't, at least make sure that you'll have the means to pay your own way. You don't want to end up trying to support a family with nothing but a high school diploma.

This is a touchy subject. As many other people have said, its alright. However they are very right when they say its a Social Taboo. You can marry your cousin and have a live, however it will be looked down upon by family and friends, being viewed as an 'odd match'. However i will say this. Sure, try it out. But i assure you that it won't work out. mostly because you are still teenagers. Teenage love never works, not without hardships, and being related only makes it worse. You have so many variables that will get in the way that the relationship to a Teenager will force the attraction to recline, and permanently end the relationship. I think the most awkward thing would be that in the future you get married, your cousin comes up to your wife and sais 'Hes good in the bag, ohhhh ya, i remember.' Thats one variable that is possible in the future. BE CAREFUL YOUNG ONE!

I think that was a Massive Mistake. If I was you I would break it off but it's your life I won't condone you for making that choice.
