So I have a cousin who i just recently met during a family reunion. Half of his life he spent outside the country so that was the first time I saw him. I said to other cousin that he is cute and if only he's not our cousin I will do everything to get him. My traitor cousin to whom i revealed about the stupid thing relay the message to other cousins and then finally reached the cousin whom i got crush. Things begins to be awkward but i just noticed that he talk more to me than the other cousins maybe because where about the same age. SO ideas anyone???

Oh! I'm reminded of a "Kissing Cousin" who used to babysit my younger siblings. How exciting she was! How glorious! I remember kissing her on the stairs, and on the landing. I remember her perfume! Her blond hair shining like the sun. She was in my dreams at night, and my daydreams in the morning! Her kisses were sweet as dewdrops! Oh God! Save me from my Kissing Cousin!

Stay away from him. If you have any interest in preserving your peer's pride and respect for you, you will not move in on him. It is perfectly natural to have confusing urges but one thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to control those urges.
Even if you try to look at this completely objectively, you really should avoid this situation. Relationships in general are difficult enough without the added stresses being with a cousin could involve. He may be talking to you to try to smooth things over. He expects you to feel awkward and feels bad for you. Not on a romantic level but on a person to person level.
Of course, you can go ahead and do what ever you want but I advise you to literally stay away from him. As in, physically remove yourself from his surroundings. Out of sight, out of mind.
