Adopted second cousin, yay or nay?

[Yobz]

No pics, but she is a solid 9 (prob an 8 on the OOT scale). Like the subject says, she is a second cousin but adopted, is she fair game?

Dude, a second cousin? Second cousin is twice as much cousin as necessary. When you throw in "adopted", this choice is easy: Hit it!

Edit: My family isn't very close-knit. Hahahaha.

So she no relation to you in any way, yay

[kevin017]

it depends on your family setup. I don't know who most of my second cousins are, never met and wouldn't recognize them on the street, but I have three adopted second cousins who i do know, and it would most definitely be creepy to date one.

if you just recently met, etc. then yes.

if you have been interacting as cousins and your families are close, then it'd be weird...but still yes.

[VoraciousReader]

If your family is the kind that has annual or more frequent reunions/occasions that involve 2nd cousin and her parents, definite nay.

Not worth screwing up the family dynamic, regardless of blood relationship or lack thereof.

Edit: of course, I don't quite get the weird spell that anything over a 7 appears to cast over the male of the species.

Adopted 1st cousin would make this at least debatable. I don't think I could pick any of my second cousins out of a lineup. I'm not even sure I have second cousins. That's common great-grandparents, right?

Again, assuming that you didn't like live next door as kids and [censored]. But that would be weird without any family relationship.

The Woody Allen rule applies:


If she's adopted, you can pop it.

Voted yay but there ARE issues regarding how the family will view it.

For residents of West Virginia, Kentucky and Alabama disregard above.
