you'll be able to point at planes together - wonderful
I could have sworn that the bicycle was instrumental in the broadening of the gene pool.
The village I grew up in had a 'local bicycle', she didn't help broaden the gene pool.
I bet we all knew a girl like that. 😆
I surprised so many people have talked about possible genetic problems given the ready availabilty of contraceptive methods. Having children together might not be a good idea but otherwise it shouldn't be anyone else's business!
Define dating - sounds like you enjoy your first cousins company, and I'd see no problem with that. I'd argue taking it to "knowing" her is wrong, as is a relationship that produces offspring. No contraception can be 100% effective, so in response to SFB the risks of a sexual relationship take things a step too far.
There was a recent Channel 4 documentary on first cousin marriages, concentrated on the asian populations in the bigger cities, and as someone above has already said part of the issue within the asian families is recurrent first cousin marriages producing very close genetic cousins, and the problem of extremely rare recessive conditions coming to the fore. It was a sad programme to watch, one of the saddest cases was a 17 year old with a progressive neurological condition, was blind & going deaf, but all he knew was he was 17 and 17 year olds are allowed to drive. He couldn't process mentally that his condition would never allow that. The programme infered that within asian communities cousin marriages are so common to keep property & money within a family.
But it isn't just isolated to asian populations, two of the most handicapped children I've ever looked after came from a caucasian cousin marriage.

In the shower with Kevin Keegan?
Question. What if your first Cousin is seriously hot?
In the shower with Kevin Keegan?

How about in the shower with Sven and Keagan? You could have a grey-off
Question. What if your first Cousin is seriously hot?
wouldn't Kevin get jealous ??
Its legal to marry a cousin. That's all that matters.
Go for it. Be happy.
Many many royal and/or moneyed families have over the century's, though for cash and land rather than happiness.
Well in Shameless one character slept with his half-brother knowing he was his half-brother
Move to Burnley. Good local mountain biking and that sort of caper is socially acceptable.
As long as you're not planning to breed, crack on.

And that was down to the fact that the parents were Cousins was it? Out of intrest, how were they disabled?
I'm pretty sure you get disabled Children born of parents who are not related as well.
I'm not suggesting it's favourable to have children if your related, but to imply that it was the cause of their severe disablement in that case is a bit of a stretch.
60 Million people in the UK just over half are women allowing that only 1% of them are available that's still 300,000 thousand women that aren't your sodding cousin.
Sweet jesus christ on a bicycle.
