You are not related.

Take an extreme example:

Elizabeth, your Mom, joins the Navy, sails to Italy, falls in love with an Italian man, Antonio Rigitoni; she has a child by him, Antiono Rigitoni Jr.

Antonio Jr. has a cousin, Bellisima Soprano. Bellisima is the child of Michelangleo Rigitoni, Antonio Sr.'s brother.

Elizabeth gets tired of Antonio eating crackers in bed, divorces him, comes home, marries David Martin. They have you, David M jr.

Bellisima Soprano is your half-brother's cousin, but she lives in Milano, 4,000 miles from you. She is Catholic and speaks Italian. You are Protestant or Jewish and speak English.

She flys to New York on a vacation. You meet. Her flashing eyes sparkle. Your heart sings. Love is in the air. Genealogy is in the air too.

That was an extreme example. Your mom is aunt to "Bellisima" by marriage, not by blood. There is NO relation. Adjust the story (names, countries, religions) to suit.

There will be a problem or two. If you spend the night trying to cop a feel, or the after-prom time trying to get her bra off, here will be a distinct quiet pause when you walk ino a large family gathering, because everyone will know you are a cad.

Some people will think you are odd.

If you have relatives who lived in the USA before 1870, outside of the big cities, chances are you have ancestors who married their full first cousins; no half-brother's first cousin about it. It wasn't that rare, back then.

If you are Amish or Mennonite or any other small denomination who tend to marry within their religion, you will have ancestors later than 1870 who married their first cousins.

i guess it depends on which parent you have in common and if she or he is related to you.

Unless you share a common ancestor, no you are not.

If you live in KY or WV go for it.

You are not blood related to her as she is from his dad's side of the family. I don't think it would be unusual. Ask your family if they would object.

LOL.. I know better than to try and out do Ted.
No, she really isn't related. People who waste time going "eeewww" .. well, they waste their time. If she is fun, and will make prom a special time for you.. I hereby direct you to invite her, and send us pics.
I bet she is gorgeous.

There are two first cousin marriages in my husband's family - allowed in the UK.
It makes for an interesting family Tree because people appear twice on the Tree.
There is no blood relationship in your proposed date - if her parents had just lived together, as seems to be the norm these days. there would be no legal kinship either - go ahead and enjoy your date.
