Have we met before?
Today, I went on a blind date. My date turned out to be my cousin's ex. Awkward doesn't even begin to describe it. We spent the entire dinner avoiding eye contact and pretending not to know each other. FML

Today, talking to my boyfriend about each others families, we noticed we both had an aunt with the same name. After a while of trying to figure things out, we decide to call her. Turns out that we are long distance cousins. FML

Today, I went on a blind date that my friends set up. Not only did my date visibly recoil at the sight of me, she ended up trying to convince me that we're actually cousins. When I told her how absurd that was, she muttered, "Fuck it" and left. FML

Today, I went out for coffee with my sister and my crush. I spent the majority of the date flirting with my crush, and when he dropped us off at home, I told him I had fun on our date. He looked at me surprised and said he'd thought I'd tagged along on his date with my sister. FML

That’s no problem. Marrying first cousins is controversial, but legal in some states. Beyond that, there’s no legal or genetic reason to avoid someone.

How distant? Technically, you are distant cousins with everyone. The only differences are how distant and knowing the specific relationship.

Hey, at least you share something in common! Namely, Ancestors.

Considering that we all can all have our heritage back to mitochondrial Eve then we are all distant cousins. The relationship depends on how distant you are. As long as you are not first or second cousins then you are getting into safe territory.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt married his distant cousin. She didn’t even have to change her last name upon marriage as her last name was already Roosevelt.
