Distance can be a problemfor any relationship, independent of the fact that the two of you are cousins. My first recommendation would be to ask her if she would be willing totalk to someone like a therapist. A professional person whom she can airall of her thoughts and concerns to. It sounds like she is very overwhelmedby her very powerful emotions for you. Then you can tell her that her feelingsare not so unusual.
Cousins share an exclusive shared history with eachother.
It's a relationship where you don't have to created a shared historyor experience. You have a head start on intimacy, in a sense the work isalready done for you. Robi Ludwig - Jasper,I would start right a way. Do it in a matter a fact way and encourage herto ask as many questions as she wants. After all, this is part of her uniquehistory.
