Re: Am i allowed to do this?
There is a thing called "age appropriateness". Once cousins and even siblings are "baligh" young men and women should act according to their age. Even around my brothers, I try to be appropriate and vice versa. It certainly doenst mean i love them any less or they love me less... Holding hands, slapping/kicking each other, being "free" was cute until a certain age, but once you start looking different i.e. mature, dealing each other with respect comes naturally, and prevents any unnecessary problems. The little cousins who grew up before my eyes are now in their teens, and i find it cute that they act all mature around me because its part of growing up.
