What way should I tell him that I like him?

I have a cousin who is just a few months older than me (I’m 13)…and I have liked him ever sinse I …well…as long as I can remember(and I have really good memory)…I guess he is kind of my hlaf cousin because he is my dads sisters son but the catch is that my dad and his sister have different fathers only the same mother…make any sense???…but I really like him but I am sooo shy and I mean SHY…that I would probably never be able to tell him face to face and besides he might think it’s wierd you know being cousins and all but I can’t go on like this forever…it’s making me go mad that he dosen’t know that I like him…like ya I would think that’s it’s a little wierd that we’re cousins but I …love him…I don’t know what to do???…somtimes I think that he shows that he likes me too…but I would never be able to say…

im begging here…please help…

…I just came up with an idea…maybe I can tell my friend to ask him and see if he likes me…the only thing is that my friend hasn’t seen him in years and it’s kinda hard to get them to meet up again…
