Ever had a 'crush' on a distant family member?

I married a third cousin,

surgically removed; when people asked," Where did you two meet?",

I grinningly replied, "Grandma's house!"

Oh yeah. I had a crush on my cousin Johnny when I was little. He was so cute. Probably still is, but I haven't seen him in years.

Well, now, that never even occurred to me. Besides, our family is so small, there never was anyone anyhow.

When I was very young I had two crushes. One was on a first cousin. My mother was the last of nine kids and so most of my first cousins were twenty or more years older than me. He was a policeman and his "beat" included our neighborhood on one evening a week. He'd often stop in for a cup of coffee and a little bit of dinner. He looked so great in his uniform and I would always tag along as he would take off his gun/utility belt and hang it in the hall closet.

The other crush was for a second cousin on my dad's side of the family. He was tall and cute and was in the Marines. I guess I had a thing for uniforms. Not anymore though.

I can almost feel "high" for uniforms images, seeing " Stars " on their shoulders, their front pockets etc give you a respect and yearning. The pilot is one.

I can't say that I have ever crushed on any of my family members, I mean c'mon, they are family members! I can say that I have crushed on all my family members sons' friends! I came from a huge family, my grandmother had 14 children, and one set of Heuples married the other set of Heupels, and then my family became a circle! Yes I mean that literally. I am kin to family on both sides of my mom and dad's family through the Heuples who married the Heupels. Incest you might ask? The answer is no. When in-laws marry newly married in-laws, you just get one humongous family! Our funerals are like family reunions and need a state fair ground to hold us all!

No I can't say that I have. Now should you change "distant family" to "Searchwarp" then you may get an aswer from me "Darling"

Hmmmm. Do tell Kacy. Let's shake things up here a little at SearchWarp. :)

» Comment from Kacycarr Comment made 341 days ago.
Hmmmm Brianna why not it could be fun. I'll have to see if I'm ready though for the "shake" you mention first - simple because of the "rattle" and "roll" that could likely follow.

Keep well Brianna

I have actually dated a 1st cousin. By definition, he was my 1st cousin, but only by marriage. My family's reaction to this was undescribable, but it took them a while to get over it as I was disowned 3 years AFTER he and I broke up. And yes, he and I also med at Grandmas House, Christmas Eve one year.

No, I can't say that I have, even as a child you know that it is wrong and immediately dismiss any feelings you might have that are like that. I don't think it's possible to justify having a 'crush' on a distant family member. Just because there is the distant factor doesn't make it okay. To me, that's like justifying being addicted to alcohol by saying its a 'legal' drug as apposed to something illegal like crack. Your still an addict and still have issues...

When I was a kid I had an older second cousin named Butch whom I thought was so cute. Whenever we had family get-togethers I looked forward to seeing him there. If he didn't make it I was very disappointed. I used to try my best to play basketball and other games with my other cousins just so I could be near him. When my Uncle got divorced he moved away and I didn't get to see him anymore. It broke my heart!

Can't say that I did.

I live across the country from one side of my family. When I was a child we would spend some of the summer visiting but would not get together with all of them. I remember one year when I was in my early teens, I had a crush on a 3rd or 4th cousin. He was 3 or 4 years old than I was and was gorgeous, or at least in my eyes! We only spent a couple of days together, with the family around and he pretty much ignored me. Of course that makes sense because I was probably 14 and he was a wiser and older 17 or 18 year old! Obviously, nothing came of it but I still remember that summer fondly.
