Awkward online dating moment
I was just looking on Match and who's viewed me...and most recently it was my cousin. We're not close at all and I'm not even sure if he knows what I look like (I haven't seen him in years). Let's hope he doesn't try to woo me!
Re: Awkward online dating moment
You know what they say...incest is best! Lol
I really hope he didn't know it was you. That would be too gross!!!
The family that plays together, stays together!
Could it perhaps be that he saw your pic and thought, "hey, this person looks a little bit like my cousin that I haven't seen in years"?
Hopefully that's the case!
I have a funny kind of related story. My dad's side of the family is huge. There are tons of people we don't know. When one of my uncles was in college he started dating a girl...eventually they realized they were cousins. They put an end to things immediately.
At least you know he's your cousin. Adopted or not, that would still be sick and wrong!
I couldn't agree more that it's wrong!
How did your uncle figure out the girl was related?
My mom's cousin's son had a thing for me years ago and said that because I'm adopted it wasn't a big deal if we dated. Um...yeah it is, it's still gross! I feel you on the cousin loving :P
This. I got "matched" with my own brother when I was on it and he viewed my profile. And I viewed his and of course made fun of him for it.

My step-brother, who I never lived with or anything, made a comment once about us hooking up. I threw up a little in my mouth at the time and still feel like I could hurl remembering it.
Just because we aren't blood related does NOT make that ok. Not at all ok.
Just through talking to and getting to know each other Eventually they discovered the family connection. LIke, hey, you have an Uncle H, I do too! LOL. And then they had all the same aunts and uncles and the light bulb went on. It's hilarious.
Supposedly they never slept together. I hope that's true!
