Is it normal that I have these feelings for a man 26 years older than me?

A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

There is a 46 year old man working where I work (he's in charge of maintainance) and I am a 20 year old "secretary"... I am pretty attracted to this man and I feel abnormal, strange and guilty. He's quite handsome but I'm very shy so I never approach him or speak to him first. Unfortunately this little crush arose only after I learned that HE mentioned his attraction to me (to a mutual coworker) at first I found it sleazy that he called me the perfect young girl and so cute and all this stuff but then I noticed myself getting more dressed up in the mornings, getting a little happy when he's there, etc. I will never ever act on any of these feelings because I have a bf and this dude is 5 years younger than my dad but is what I'm feeling sort of normal? :( thank you for any and all help.

Nothing abnormal or strange about having a crush on an older man. I am 19 and my bf is 45, also a 26 year age difference. Some older men are have traits that young women find attractive. They have that sense of stability, maturity, and so on.

To answer your question, yes, I would say you are normal.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Nooo he's not married, probably what makes him more attractive/appealing and less sleazy. Thank you for the answers! :)
