i caught feelings for my step cousin. is it wrong?

r/

for some contexts, i’m 18f and let’s call my step cousin nick. nick is 19.

So, i know this might sound a little weird but, me and nick have recently gotten back into contact after years of not talking. Me and him have started to be flirty but apart of me feels like it could be wrong.

I feel like i should say how i’m marriage related. so my grandma got with this man that isn’t my grandpa. and so my grandmas husbands nephew is nick. but my “grandpa” hasn’t been in contact with nick or any of that family for about 10 years. it isn’t like me and him grew up together. we have only been around each other like 5 times, total.

Basically what i’m asking is, is it wrong that me and him are flirting and being in contact?

    Not wrong if you don’t have any familiar relationship prior

    Not even blood. No.

    tbh no. you’re not blood related, didn’t grow up together, sides of the family aren’t close. i don’t see the big deal

    What the hell does it mean to “catch feelings” like they were floating around in the ether? You decide who you like, who you love, and who you don’t. It’s not magic. Like him, love him, or don’t and then own the decision you made.

    Honestly, if you’re Hispanic, y’all will get away with this no problem. Not only have I experienced my grandmother trying to play Cupid with my step/second cousin and same with my friends going through the same, it’s apparently more common than we talk about
