A distant kiss

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
I recently had my first kiss. The problem is that it took place at a family reunion.
 
He’s not blood-related and I had never met him, but we are related by marriage. He is my fourth or fifth cousin once or twice removed. Should I feel as ashamed as I do?

 

Dear Distant Kiss,

 

Let yourself off the hook. Unless you two were interrupted in the coat room by Uncle Oscar, there is no need to feel endlessly ashamed. Move on, and focus on what makes you proud of yourself rather than what makes you cringe.

 

When girls crush on cousins, it is important not to cross lines or test taboos—so I wouldn’t recommend going there again. This boy is not part of your close circle and besides, you are not asking, “Should I kiss him again?” but “Should I forgive myself?” So my advice is: Yep.

 

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

its just a kiss, don't freak. i don't recomend doing that again but if your just related by marrige its no big deal. if you see him again just be polite but dont flirt. just move on.
it was just one kiss. its over.
