In love with someone 28yrs older

To want to be in a serious romantic relationship with someone 28 years older than me and they have two children boys age 16 and 2. I'm 18 and the other person is 42 I've never had feelings like this before not even by someone my own age is this normal?

PS I get along great with the children they love me and I am extremely mature for my age

    you may be mature for your age, but what do you have in common with someone that much older? you're at different stages in your lives. I think you should try to find someone closer to your age.

    My 60 year old mother hoped to grow old with my dad, as couples hope to do. But he was 21 years older, and feeble. She pushed his wheelchair, and reminded him to take his meds, and she was a window too soon.

    It might not be common. But love is love. No one should give you flack for being in love. It doesn't matter what other people think.

    It's completely normal, age doesn't determine anything. Don't worry about what other people think, love is love

  • We haven't established a relationship its just sort of a crush. As far as sharing textbooks goes were in different grades he's still a junior in high school and I am a college sophomore. And the type of attraction is purely physical and mental it has nothing to do with sex. the gentleman in this case isn't even aware that I have this crush On him.

    By "the children" do you mean the one two years younger than yourself? Can you share text-books? Consider how you'd feel if your dad started having sex with your childhood friend. That's pretty much what this lovely human being is up to.

    Something's gone a bit screwy with your maths. But hey, being in love makes everything screwy. Even makes you do things you wouldn't normally do. Something to ponder.

    No it doesn't sound very normal, his son is only two years younger than you, now that is saying something! I'm sure you can find mature people nearer your own age...
