Dear Anyone,

I think I have a "thing" for my older (45 year-old) second cousin. I am 20 and I think I have a crush on him! Every time I am near him I get butterflies and feel like I am in love with him, and always want to be with him. I don't know what this feeling is! Besides being incest, is this totally nasty and gross?

WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE?

Vote for Option A   
A:  Nasty. Gross. You said it.
Vote for Option B   
B:  Actually, marrying second cousins is completely legal, and most people don't consider it incest. If you like him, tell him how you feel.
Vote for Option C   
C:  Most of us have had a crush on an older relative at some time. It's a nice feeling (and not nasty), completely normal and nothing to stress about.
Vote for Option D   
D:  The feeling is called "hormones." If it wasn't your second cousin, it would be someone else.
