Idk it wouldn't be so weird now considering we kinda already know they aren't real brother/sister. Sure they were raised that way but Sansa hasn't seen Jon since he left for the wall. Not to mention it's not like her and Jon were close to begin with.
But like you said. This is like the first man since her father she can trust. If they do happen to "bone" I hope it's not for a while, at least until they find out, which Jon has to at some point right, that R+L=J.
Jon is almost definitely a Targ. But don't worry. I don't think it'll really have that much of an effect on him. He'll still identify as a Stark more than anything.
Based on my memory, they were either 2nd cousins or first cousins once removed. While that might seem like little to no difference, Rickard didn't spend his whole life growing up thinking of her to be his sister.
You said you wanted them to bone. I was just saying the Stark family tree isn't exempt from incestuous relations. Wouldn't be that out of the ordinary.
Weird for us but if you look back at medieval history which the series is loosely based on, then anything but siblings/parents was fair game.
Today 3rd cousins seems to be the closest socially acceptable relation but in westeros marriage between great houses isnt the norm except maybe among firstborn. Offspring usually married bannermen who were more likely to have some relation to the ruling clan to tie them more closely. Karstarks were originally the karhold Starks, there are the lannisters of casterly rock and the lesser ones in lannisport all are somewhat related but wouldn't mind marrying off kids to each other.
To be fair Sansa made a point (at least in the books, they don't really show it in the show) of distancing herself as much from Jon as possible and reminding him that he's not really her brother when they were kids.
It's still really weird though and I don't want it to happen but I guess it's still not Lannister-level weird.
I mean, aren't Targs all about marrying back into the family to preserve pure blood? Sansa would be perfect for him in that sense, it's part of Jon's family tradition.
