Sexual tension and awkwardness between cousins?

[Anonymous]

So me and one of my cousins rarely see each other, maybe once a year, sometimes less. I also have a brother, and the same applies to him. We're all in our 20's. Now, I've physically changed a lot since the last time I saw her, and I've been told that I'm good looking by lots of people. I recently saw her again at a family gathering, and it had been 2 years since I last saw her. She's also gotten hotter too. During the whole evening, I noticed her giving me double-takes, looking at me then when I look back she looks away quickly, brushes her hair… Basically, the same kind of signs I see from chicks that find me attractive. And the thing is, she doesn't act like this with my brother. This "awkwardness" and sexual tension is only between us. I REALLY don't want to be attracted to her, yet I have to acknowledge her hotness. These things happen? It's normal?

Yeah these things happen. believe it or not if a brother and sister grow up apart and then meet the same thing happens.

Recently I saw in the news there was a married couple in Brazil, both orphaned children and then one day they found out they had the same mother.

All that aside, she probably keep looking at you because you keep looking at her.

"I noticed her giving me double-takes, looking at me then when I look back she looks away quickly, brushes her hair". Basically, I'm "catching" her looking at me.

Your her cousin, she wants to be friends with you but is too shy to come and talk to you and expects you to go and start conversation with her being the man and all.

Yes these things happen, yes its normal. Just don't do anything about it.

This is a thought you should probsbly just push aside instead of indulging. Cousins are not good mates.
