Me: Hi
Second Cousin: Hello, who is this?
Me: (Says my name)
Second Cousin: Oh, hi.
(They greet each other)
Me: I have to tell you something. Do you wanna here it?
Second Cousin: Sure
Me: It’s pretty long. I want you to take your time to read it.
Second Cousin: Okay
Me: (Explains deep feelings towards her)
Second Cousin: I really appreciate you telling me all of this. With that being said, I’m not interested. I don’t want things to get too weird between us and hopefully, we’ll become friends/cousins.

Me: Well, I’m not looking for a relationship right now. I just want you to understand how I feel about you.
Second Cousin: I understand. Thank you for telling me.
Me: You’re welcome. I just don’t know how I’m supposed to handle these feelings.
Second Cousin: Okay
Me: If most girls in the world look like you, life would be prettier.
Second Cousin: Thanks
Me: You’re welcome.

(Even though the second cousin crush nicely rejected the guy that has a crush on her, he still took the pain so hard which affected him negatively.)

(Complaining to friends about the rejection)
Me: My crush rejected me. I don’t know what to do with my life!
Friend: Well, she’s not interested. I mean she’s your cousin after all.
Me: I don’t give a fuck if she’s my second cousin! She’s all I fucking want!
Friend: Relax dude. Try not to obsess on it. Think about something else like airplanes.
