Is it ok to date your ex's cousin?
You might want to think about that decision before you attempt that. I mean, it's alright to date as long as your ex and his/her cousin have an agreement and they are in good terms about the matter.

Don't go out of your way and date this cousin until you've discussed about this matter to both of them, or you could ruin their friendship or worse, have your heart broken.
