How do I tell my best friend that I'm interested in her cousin?

I met my best friends cousin recently, and I think he's a great guy and we would really hit it off. Problem is that she has wanted to set him up with one of our other friends and I don't think that she ever thought about the possibility of me being interested in him. But I am, and I'm not sure how to bring it up to her.

    well this is a toughie... but never fear jaxBnimble is here( just thought you'd get a kick out of that!) When it comes to playing cupid with relatives you always want the very BEST! have you shown certain attitudes that may make your friend think you are not a "good" match for her cousin? remember that whether you like it or not you are entering family territory one that is very protected by a lot of individuals.. think of it from her point of view...However, my advice and i am sure you get this A LOT!! be clear and come clean to her... let her know your interests and let her know that you will take things into action by setting yourself up with her cousin that way no bonds are broken...HONESTY my dear although sometimes hurtful always the best choice...

    Talk about no brainers! Tell your friend you think her cousin is really cute, nice, etc. and ask her if he has a gf. And don't wait: tell your bf today.

    just bring it p.if she's truly your friend she'll help you. When you tell her, give her reasons why you think you guys would hit it off and what you have in common. She'll come around. Soon =]

    You could just say to her ' Hey, can i set up your cousin with this girl who is really nice?' When your best friend asks ' who is it?' you just smile and say ' Me' :-) how does that sound?
