My cousin kissed me?

[Anonymous]

I've known my older cousin since I was a baby, but recently we've spent many years apart since seeing or talking to each other. Im now 19 and he's 22 This summer I've been staying at my aunt's place (his mum), so we've been hanging out a lot, he would often check me out and tease me but I didn't think anything of it at first.
The other day we got drunk together and he kissed me, I pushed him away and he said, sorry I just thought you looked so beautiful. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it so I laughed it off and said he's crazy. But now he's being even more touchy and he knows this is taboo because he tries to look completely innocent in front of my aunt. Yes he is good looking but just imagening myself with him makes me cringe, I feel weirded out by him touching me. And I still have a few weeks left to stay here and I don't want to make things incredibly awkward for us this whole time that I'll be here.
What do I do?

Also is it common to crush on their cousin?

Elinor and Franklyn Roosevelt were Third cousins, and they Married and had children. He was One of the Presidents of the US, by the way.
People nowadays call it "Barnyard Romance" or even Incest. You know how cruel society can be. However, in your own case, don't try to Lead him on any, not even with a bat of a blue eye or even a Kind word, that He could take wrong as Long... As you are Remaining there.
Yes, it happened to me when I was younger and he was my Third cousin, First love. But the Only ones who Talked and Squawked about it was a Nosy Aunt and his Dad, who never Approved of it, but later was Relieved when we Split up and He Married another who was Not a Relative, but instead a Long time Friend.
Good luck. xx

There is a difference between a gentle hello kiss and teasing and a kiss on the lips or in the mouth. Its up to you to tell him firmly you dan't like that from him and don't want it to happen anymore. If he gets physical after you said that, get physical back (not agressive) in rejecting. He will not expect that and hopefully it will be clear for him.

Are you concerned about the legality of a relationship, the morality of a relationship, or do you just want to know how to avoid him kissing you, etc?

Avoid him kissing me. Im not into him at all, in fact it makes me kind of uncomfortable.

[OlderAndWiser]

Just get him in private and tell him that you are flattered that he finds you attractive but you have no interest in any relationship with him and you hope this can be resolved without involving anyone else in the discussion. The implied threat of telling his aunt will probably make him behave. However, you should lock your bedroom door before you go to sleep.

Um, no. But sone places in the deep South it's not uncommmon.

[WhereAmI]

Tell your aunt. She'll straighten his ass out.

[Asker]

She's extremely strict and tough thats why Im worried about telling her 😅 But perhaps I might.

That is not common in the south. I live in Tennessee, it is still taboo here.

You imagined sex with your cousin. You want it. You're just cringing at what family will think.
