The ick factor is that he seems excited about this woman BECAUSE she is his cousin, not in spite of it.
You have made an asumption based on your own flawyed defination , which is untrue. I have said nothing that would premote that line of thinking. Its all in your mind, obviously based on you not reading the posts .
This has already been discussed on these threads. Also , not every relationship is just about sex ether. Romance does not always include sex, especially when the subjects are in their senior years.
I think it's your term 'dating' that confuses me. What's your definition of dating?
If there's no sex and you both have no intention of getting married wouldn't you two just be hanging out together?
There is no problem having sex with your first cousin. The taboo of sleeping with relatives is an old one based on the evolutionary ramifications of passing on recessive genes. This does not happen with first cousin couplings (and wouldn't happen anyway given the age situation).
That said, social taboos are difficult to deal with. So you must ask yourself which is more important to you, not bothering the sensibilities of others or alleviating your loneliness.

Everyone should have a partner. Everyone in the world.
Call it "dating" or something else; live together or separately; related or not. I know life partners who do not live together, and I know a set of life partners who are mother/daughter. There is probably every conceivable combination of partners out there, and I can't see why partnering with someone who shares a set of grandparents would be particularly noteworthy.
We all need someone to call when the car won't start, or when we are sick, or even when we spot the first robin of spring. Sharing is the most basic and rewarding of experiences for us humans, and I recommend it for everyone.

This sums it up nicely. Other than family, no one else needs to even know that you're related. Is family perception a problem for either of you?
