Question: Too close for comfort - Advice Please? I like this girl, but she is related to the same people I am related to. I am related through my dad's side to these peoples dad. But she is related to them through their mom's side. So I'm of no relation of this girl. She comes to all family parties and what not, etc. So, it feels like shes a cousin, but she is not.\nI like her, but, it seems as if she avoids stuff about this when I ask her, although I have not confronted her and said, "I like you"\nShe also refers to me as a cousin. She says, "we're like cousins." But, she is very very shy, so I think she's just trying to avoid it. I also think she flirts with me, etc, but... then again, hard to tell. Is this too close for comfort? Should I go for it? What advice do you guys have? If she says no, it would be so weird? Help.\n\nAlso, we have long discussions on AIM. She asks me who do I like, all of her friends know me, etc. I think she does like me, but she is indeed shy. The people on my side of the family tease me about her. Help.

Answer: Well, you said she is shy and you said she is talking to you.  It seems that you have a good start already and just don't realize it.\nJust keep talking to her and seeing her when you can.  Things have a way of working themselves out.
