Okay, I'm not exactly sure where this goes but I'm putting it here.
My uncle married this lady. She has a son. He and I are really good friends and I adopted him as my cousin before my uncle and his mother decided to get married. Well, my best friend met this new cousin. She kinda liked him. He kinda liked her, too. I get them on the phone together and WA-BA-BOOM! They're together.

They've been that way for 7 months. They don't really see each other, though. It makes my best friend very sad. I have to deal with this... a lot. Well, they both come to my birthday party... and my cousin pretty much ignores her most of the time and she doesn't want to "bother" him. I couldn't help but think that maybe she should try to get him to pay attention to her more, and she keeps telling me that she doesn't want to come in between him and his life. Okay.
Well, my uncle gets married. My best friend plays the piano for the wedding. Wedding reception: ignored. We were there for... 7 hours and the most time they spent together were the last two, and a quarter of that time was spent throwing baked beans in my hair (don't ask). Again, my best friend is sad that he won't pay attention to her so she asks me for advice. I don't know WHY she's asking me for advice about relationships. I've had TWO and they both failed miserably. Still, I don't know what to tell her. This is a BIG part of me because I suffer a hit from both sides if they split up and get upset because they aren't together anymore because:
1. She's my best friend.
2. He's my cousin, officially.
3. I'm the reason why they met.
4. I'm a main reason why they got together in the first place (the phone call).
I'm almost as confused as my friend is and I'm at a loss as to what to tell either of them. I've tried to talk to my cousin, but he doesn't really listen to me much. My best friend listens to the point that it's annoying and I don't have anything to say that could help in any way, so I try to keep my mouth shut and that just makes it even worse.
