How do you start a relationship with a family member whom you've never really spoken to in the past?

You basically call them..ask them out...do activities together...find things you have in common...have a trip together. It can really help

Take it slow.. take the initiative to open up.. start by asking them how they are.. everything starts with a simple conversation

This will depend on who you are, who you family member is, and if there were any problems why you didn't speak in the past. First off, you could start by having an open mind about this family member, and to see if they will get together with you to find out more about each other. From there, the relationship could naturally blossom into something great. Just be yourself, and let this family member know that you would like to make an effort to get to know each other.

Relationships are really easy to built if you want it to be. You just have to let down your ego or anger and be the bigger person to start communication. But both parties have to cooperate to do so in order to form a relationship. But if all else fails at least you tried thats what matters.

You can start by caring for them in small matters, like by helping them in some little tasks or buying something small for them like candies or chocolates.

Whether it be by letter, email, text, or phone call, (heck even a casual hangout) a good first start would be to ask the family member how their lives have been, what's been happening in their lives, whether it be about kids, pets, accomplishments. Once you get to that point, it will come to you on how to react to their questions/responses. Hope this helps!

Start with general gesture and greetings with kind words. Then try to remind them of how they are related to you..try to bridge the relationship.

You talk to them to figure out the root of the problem as to why y’all never talked. Then you go on from there you see if there is a way to over look the reason you didn’t talk to each other then you slowly start solving the issues between the two of you. Although there may be challengers you always have to remember they are your family and even though the times might get tough solving what went wrong you still need to work as if nothing was wrong. You are family and family is always there for family.

Its difficult to do that sometimes. Ask yourself has that family member been there for you before and why haven't they? Are they fearful of something? Or do they just feel like they are superior to you and you dont quite fit in. Sometimes even those themselves can feel like outcasts so its something to consider. If you are BOTH genuinely wanting to start a relationship mutually, then all you can do is take it a day at a time. Be polite, courteous, kind, respectful of one another. Conversing will help you both see what you have in common and what you can both bond on. You either want to try to make the relationship work or you dont. It can be awkward and uncomfortable at first. Most new relationships tends to be this way if you dont get butterflies. But those are different comparisons.
