How do I break the ice with my cousin? My cousin and I haven't been the greatest friends for the past 5 years or so. The other day she texted me, and asked if I wanted to go to the mall. I'm going, but how do I break the ice with her?

Just walk up to her and talk nicely to her and ask her what she has been up to  and let her start talking about what she has been doing. You broke the ice by letting her talk first and then smile and take it from there. Life is too short to not be friends with your relatives.

Just go there and say Wazzz upp dawggg. How you doin my home gurl????
