I`m 25 and have a crush on a colleague 41. Is it pretty bad?

Well, I'm 26 and I have a crush on my professor 60! If it's bad for your, then it must be too bad for me, isn't it? :) Sometimes we can not explain why we are attracted by someone. Sometimes I thought that I'm crazy to fall in love with such an old man who worths to be my grandpa! But, i don't know. I can not stop. I do not know it's the right love or not but cannt keep my eyes off him. What I am trying to do now is to be close with him and find out whether we have something in common or not. Is there really a happy "future"? It may be just a first impression! There must be a lot of difference existing that require us to stand back and think! Calm down and take your time. I'm falling in love but still keep myself concious enough to identify the standard moral.\nAnyway, your case can be acceptable. The age gap is not that big.

It's OK. I'm 13 and my boss tried to hook me up with her 16 year old nephew. Just follow your heart!

There's nothing wrong with you, it's normal to be attracted to an older guy. However, going out with him now may not be an option. Depending on certain laws, he could get into big trouble messing around with you even you want to, especially since he's probably 18 or older.

age gap is not a problem really, but what is your actual age? are you in a stage to understand the difference between love and attraction? affection and passion? if not, Take the advise of the elders.

Nope and Nope.\n\nHey, If they can get away with it then more power to em.  I mean I hope that when I am 40, that I will be attractive enough that a 20 year old will find me attractive!\n\nWhy should they feel guilty?  If anything they will end up feeling the rejection, but it will probably be less than if they hit on somebody their own age because they could laugh it off under the "hey, I never stood a chance" clause :) \n\nJames\nhttp://www.thesmartass.info

I had a crush on a professor once. Even though I never acted upon it. It's been almost 8 years, we're both married now, and correspond by e-mail. To tell you the truth we both wonder what could have been. BUT there is only a 6 year age difference (my husband is 5 years older than me)

Ok, this is a sticky one.  Can you put your 'crush buzz' to the side and see the reality of 'what if it can work' set in? It will be national news, everything will blow up.  Can you honestly see her having feelings for you as well? Do you think moving in closer to her would work out for the both of you's or just you? remember she is married for a reason. Here's the good news, you have found someone that has shown you your 'ideal' partner.  What might have got you to have a crush on her is as a teacher it is their job to pay attention and help students reach there goals.  I know your not going to get that with a lot of girls at high school, hey they are young and still learning themselves, maybe you are more mature minded and that's great you have discovered your ideal partner which is a mature, funny, witty and with a great personality.  But as a teacher, not a good thing to do.  Just look at her and thank her in your mind for showing you an ideal partner =)

Age is nothing but a number bestowed upon us at our birth. There's nothing wrong with a man in his 30's falling in love with someone whom may be a little older than him. Love works in mysterious ways. Why try to figure out the mystery of it when we can just sit back and enjoy it when it happens.

There's nothing wrong with that! One of my friends is going out with a guy two years older than her-has been for 4 years now.\nGood luck :)

Of course - age is no barrier to happiness, but you must ensure that the age gap is never an issue between you. You should be blind to the age difference . . .

Yes it is ok! As long as your in love! You can love him and he can love you! Age does not notice age, it does not hate, it is not jealous! Love is pure love! Love is all that matters!

It depends on the role you would be playing out...\nIf you are playing out the employee you rather don't.  It is never good to get job and personal relationship mixed.\n\nIf you get on well beyond the ties of work... you could find the way.  \n\n'A crush'= well, it seems you really like her but since you describe it precisely as 'a crush' it seem this wouldn't last at all.\n\nI wouldn't like my ex to be my boss... neither my employee to by my ex... If you think it worths the pain go on... but if this won't last you might set off your worker role as the prior...

I think it's fine. IN the tenn year,s it's pathetic because both people are growing up and they have no idea what they wanna do in life- they just date out of pure lust and "puppy" love. \nHowever, when you reach late 20's, early 30's it doesn't really matter. And considering the fact that if someone is 6 years older and you don't care about it- that makes the bond between the two even stronger.\nAnd anyway; many people fell that only anotherm more mature person can understand them- and if it takes a 6 year difference, let it be!\nSo technically, as long as the love is there- anything's possible!

These girls dont know what there talking about. Ive been exactly where you are. I was 18 and I fell inlove with some 42. It sounds so bad. I know its not "normal" but its not wrong either. I dont feel like you should cheat on your husband even if you've asked for a divorce. I feel that you should wait until its completely over. If the older man trully has feelings for you then he will wait. I wish you the very best!

Why ask this do you like him? If you truely do than what dos age have to do with anything and only one year I could see if you were 15 and he was 50 then there would be a bad thing.
