I like a girl, but it's complicated.

Hi, there is a girl i like and we have been secretly up to stuff, like her coming round to mine when my mum is working and we really like each other. She is fun to be around, makes me happy and she is caring. I want her to be my girlfriend. She also wants to be my girlfriend as she said i was respectful, good looking and fun. So we both want to go out with each other and we have both said this.

The trouble is she is my mate's cousin, and i really don't know how he would react to us two going out. They both get along and see each other quite a bit and i really don't know how my mate would react, if he would react angrily or take the mick or whatever. I don't want to ask him because then that would give it away.

For now me and this girl have both said we will keep having fun for the moment without going out with each other but i like her so much but my mate is an obstacle at the moment. :frown:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Surely if your mate was a good one he'd see how happy his cousin would make you and he'd be pleased for you both?

If you really like her, just talk to him and explain how awkward you feel, but you really shouldn't have to ask his permission or anything!

Remember there have been greater barriers on the path to love than this before! Good luck! :smile:

I had a year long relationship with my best mate's sister, and he was fine with it. At least he claimed to be, and we never fell out once, so, go for it.

Ask before hand. Just out of respect.

Ye you could ask him, or at least tell him, but you dont need his permission, aslong as your not messing her around or just out for one thing i dont see why he should object..go for it!
Dude, it's his cousin, not his bloody sister. And it's not like it would matter either way, she doesn't belong to him. Do what you want, and if he has a problem with it, tough ****. His opinion doesn't really matter. And whatever you do, don't go "asking" him, that's absurd. That's pretty much acknowledging that she's his possesion. Make sure you let him know though, but tell him rather than ask him. If you keep it secret, that implies there's something wrong about it, which there certainly isn't.

Why this is even an issue, I don't know...

if your mate was really your mate he wouldn't mind.
just talk to him, tell him you really like each other because if he truely cares for his friend & cousin he wouldn't have a problem.
