"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Plus she is your freaking cousin. Don't discount my advice just because I disagree with your view on incest. Just because you are happy fcking a relative doesn't mean she is! Don't take things like that as an IOI, it's just that she is confortable with you because you are FAMLY. It's an IOI in the same line of 'hey your my cousin I like you as a cousin' not 'let's fck'. Reguadless of whether or not incest is right (it's not) you don't have a chance because she probably doesn't think it is, and she has a god damn boyfriend. She is a girl, she really cares what people think about her, there is no way she is going to get with her cousin out of fear of what people might think. Oh and she has a boyfriend, did I mention that?
Yep.
Oh and if you are a troll, at least you are pretty amusing

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

On a side note, I do find the psychological aspect in the whole matter interesting. It is interesting to me how sometimes the male innate desire for a female companion that he believes he has a connection with can override something as strong as societal influence and basic logic. Another example of this besides the cousin thing (which you find all over, check out cousincouples.com if you want another example of this) is oneitis.
Humans are very intriguing things.
Let's just stay away from Roofies, ok?SamePendo said:
Seriously though, look at it this way. I'll assume you have a sibling of some sort. Say, for example, someday you have a daughter. Your sibling has a son. At some point, you find out your nephew is banging your daughter. Would you not go fvcking ape****?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
you're a pretty sick guy if you really want to get with one of your family members. i dont care what kind of excuse you have, i know its ok in some societies, but this is not one of them. you should take a good look at yourself and maybe seek some kind of couseling cuz you really need it. its not normal for one to fall for their cousins... its just a line we instinctively do not cross, and for a person to do so, there must be some kind of psychological dysfunction.ReZin said:
When you're a teenager, your female cousins are there, they're inclined to be friendly, they trust you, and you spend alot of time in close quarters with them. It's not all that uncommon. When I was about 13-16 one of the easiest occasions to hook up was at big family gatherings with distant 'cousins' who weren't actually related to me by blood.
Just get out more, man. Getting over your cousin shouldn't be that different from getting over any other girl.
