Today, I received a friend request on Facebook. I didn't know her, but she was cute, so I accepted the request. After looking at her pictures, I sent her a message saying "What's up cutie, do I know you?". She responded "Yes, I'm your cousin". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I sent a Facebook friend request to my ex. This afternoon I notice that they had accepted, and had left a message for me in my inbox. Asking how they knew me. FML
Today, I saw an adorable girl at the bar and I went to talk to her. I decided to use my cheesiest pick up line to make her laugh. After I said it, she knew who I was. It was my cousin I hadn't seen in 8 years. FML
Today, I received a friend request on Facebook from a girl I've had a crush on for a while. As I was about to accept it, it vanished. She explained later that she clicked on my name by accident, and didn't actually want to be friends at all. FML
Today, I found an old friend of mine on Facebook. After adding her, I suggested friends for her. She ended up adding every single one I added, but not me. I later saw her ask one of those friends who the hell I was and how I knew all of them. We used to eat lunch together everyday. FML
Today, I found out the girl I hit on at the store I work at is my second cousin. FML
Today, I got my first Facebook friend request in 4 months. I also got a message in my inbox. The message said: "Sorry, I thought you were someone else. Just ignore my friend request." FML
Today, my coworker asked me to add her on Facebook. She has a common name, so I picked the one I thought was her. After no response for a while, I asked for the right spelling. She saw the one I thought was her and said, “I can’t believe you thought I was that ugly.” She wasn't joking. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend what she loves the most about me. She said it's the fact that I look like her cousin. FML
Today, while over at a friend's house, I saw a framed picture of a young African boy on her fridge. I asked, "Oh, is this one of those kids you adopt from third world countries? My grandma does that too." She responded, "What do you mean? That's my cousin." FML
Today, I checked Facebook, only to find out that my close cousin is now married. When I looked at the pictures, I saw that my whole family was there - including my sister, mother and father. I was the only one who wasn't invited. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wincest!

I can see how this could happen. I have a large extended family, with a ton of cousins I've never met, and a few of them have added me on Facebook. Although calling her "cutie" is definitely a bit of a facepalm moment.

"What's up cutie?" isn't *that* bad. It could have been a lot worse.

And why this is stopping you from dating her? If she's a first cousin, marriage could be a problem in Texas, but you can cross that bridge when you get to it. The beauty part would be if you go to her family reunion, you'll know a lot of people there ;)

Damn perdix! you beat me to it.... OP you know its legal if its your 3rd cousin (not sure about 2nd cousin). I'd say "go for it". Just use protection... =P

Apparently there's no restriction in 20 states, then the rest of them vary. The US is the only western country that has any prohibition against it. (according to Wikipedia) Hmm - serious question - if there was a prohibition on whatever marriage you were after (gay, cousin, etc) in your home state, is it legit in the US to just go to a different state and do it? I guess the Las Vegas quickie marriage thing partially answers my question.

Jerry lee Lewis married his 13 yr old cousin. Just a useless fact that is relevant to the fml.

Zeb: It varies quite widely. Some states or counties don't allow non-residents to marry, so you can't just go anywhere. Those that do usually have their own requirements (waiting periods, blood tests, etc.) for a marriage license. As for the types of marriages you've described, their recognition depends on your state. For example, I think New York will recognize same-sex marriages performed out-of-state as entirely legal, even though they won't allow same-sex couples to marry in NY. If your state doesn't recognize your out-of-state marriage as legit, I think that affects things like how you can file state taxes, and your qualification for things like insurance benefits. Obviously it would be easier to cheat that system for a non-traditional hetero couple, like cousins, than a same-sex couple. It's pretty complicated.
