How to Fall out of love?

Me and this girl got really close over the last few months however she is my 2nd cousin (i kno its disgusting) and i told her that we cannot be together because of it but she argues that we can (we are not blood related)........with the advice of my friends i seperated from her......this really upset her and me but i felt it was for the best.......

However its been about 3 months and i cannot stop thinking about her - so many things remind of her...............i know she is still really hurt and i do feel guiltly but its making me depressed.....how do i move on and get her out of my head.

Don't be ridiculous. There is absolutely nothing disgusting about it.

this may seem harsh but just think about someone else, someone else you either have, or could have a crush on, or focus your attention elsewhere, like in your hobbies or something, this may seem like rubbish advice but it can help!especially thinking about someone else, once youve reached that stage then its ok

There isn't actually anything wrong with feeling the way you do. You're not even blood-related.

Heavens, you can marry your own cousin (Henry V111 says so), so it should be no probs marrying a 2nd cousin.

Go for it, with the TSR blessing.

OK if she really was your 2nd cousin then you would be blood-related. You would share a set of great-grandparents.
So if you're not blood-related, then you're not 2nd cousins, ergo what's the problem? :wink:

as long as blood relations isn't involved, there's nothing wrong with it

2nd cousin is ok. Forget about what everyone else says, and get back with her if she means this much to you. Just make sure that you don't end up messing around. Do what you think is right, and what makes you happy, NOT what makes others happy. Your real friends will stick by you no matter what you do.
