This is a little tale of an observation I made between a man and a woman who are related. They both seem to be the perfect cousins, they are such good friends and have great conversation with each other. They enjoy each others company very much to a point were they are comfortable enough to talk about anything. At times they talk about why their respective relationships why it failed and what they are looking for in a future mate. The two of them are very similar in the sense of having low self confidence and an independent attitude in a relationship. Their are times when they both will talk about very graphic sexual experiences. The two of them always get mistaken for boyfriend and girlfriend by people who do not know they are related. The male cousin’s uncle always joke around and say to him “don’t borrow another mans girl let her be free to find her man”. Many rumors are going around about the female cousin and why she continues to hang out with that particular male cousin since they were never real close as children. Some say if they were not related they could have made a great couple. At times the two of them make remarks about how they look and how to improve their looks. They have been caught lying in bed together chatting until they fall asleep. To me they are just real close but there is a wired sense of are they “doing it” with each other tension in the air. My question to you is can a male and a female be best friends related or not without being looked at as sexual partners?
