Is it normal for a 26 year old to be attracted to a 12 year old?

At my job one of my coworkers is a 40 year old single mother. Last week my office had a lunch party for her because she was switching to another company. Her daughter was also there with her and I had my eyes on the girl the entire time. She just had the cutest, sweetest, most lovable face, eyes, hair, and body. She was wearing a beautiful dress that afternoon. She looked and acted so mature that I actually thought she was 18. It wasn't until later when I contacted her via Facebook that I realized she was only 12. I made her promise that she would not tell her mother that I was her friend on Facebook. I am deeply attracted to her and leave her all sorts of cute smileys and pics of cute kittens to brighten up her day. I help her with "boy" problems at school and flirt with her whenever I can, and I can tell that she enjoys hanging out with me online. I think she is fascinated by my life experience and wisdom and all the advice I give her.

    Holy fuck, no it's not normal. There is nothing good that can come of this situation, it doesn't matter how "mature she is for her age" she is physically and psychologically NOT ready for the type of relationship you're wanting to have with her. If you want to be her friend, then fuck off for the next 6 years and then come back.

    Stop what you are doing. You do not "friend" 12 year olds. You can mentor them, but not friend them. Huge difference.

    While the attraction might feel natural, it's better if you do your best to move away.

    Not normal, you could get in trouble for this. Find someone your own age.

    I don't understand these comments that think this relationship will suddenly and magically be fine when the girl hits 18. Especially not with THIS guy. Would you want to be in a relationship with a man who has been stalking you since you were 12?

    • happens to child stars all the time. many of them are scouted when they are even younger than 12 to play roles in movies. doesn't always transition well into adulthood but fame and fortune have a price to pay. and many of the fans of these young teen female celebrities wait anxiously for them to turn 18 so they can imagine potentially scoring them.

    Don't step over the line between friendship and romance, A twelve year old girl is not ready for that and it would seem neither are you. Seek out adult companionship.

    I sympathize with your initial reactions to this girl. Females these days are maturing faster than ever and their appearing age can greatly exceed their chronological age. You're not a creep for having that initial response. However, upon learning her actual age you should broken all forms of communication. The fact that you haven't not only now makes you a creep, but puts yourself in serious SERIOUS jeopardy.

      I agree. Think with your big head not your little head. She may look mature but she is a child. I know a guy went to jail for two and a half years for fingering a 14 year-old, her mom found out by reading her computer. Now everyone hates him and thinks of him as "that creepy pedo".

            Oh, what a good friend. If you'd like to be a good friend, stop talking to her. For the record, good friends don't flirt when they know it isn't appropriate. Only assholes do that.
            You know exactly what you're doing. You're going to have a harder time manipulating us into thinking this is okay. We're not 12 year old girls.
            One more thing, that girl is going to grow up and realize you took advantage of her and hate you for it.

            I have had some nice chats with children too, but you know what? I don't find them cute and I do not flirt with them because they are CHILDREN.

            If you are attracted to children you are a paedophile.

    You're here saying you fancy a 12 year old and you flirt with her on fb and then making up excuses for it. Get a grip on yourself and on the real reality of it all. This is your coworker's daughter and she could find out easily what you are doing on fb and she knows who you are and can call the cops and have them come arrest you at work. Stop letting your sick little fantasy blind you from that reality. You are a preditor and somebody needs to get chris hanson on this thread. If you had a child, would you like it if a much older person were persuing your child for sex?

    Okay, if it's true she looks way older, yes it's normal. But, stop this now. Even if you don't do or discuss anything overtly inappropriate you're setting up a potentially bad situation. And the fact that you insisted she keep it secret seems to suggest you know this on some level.

    • there is no "next move". i'm just enjoying conversing with her and spending time with her. there will probably never be anything physical between us, but i hope she feels some sort of emotional fulfillment as a result of our interactions

    SHE. IS. A. CHILD! ...you are not! Ask yourself. "Why am I pursuing a relationship with a 12 year old, rather than someone my own age?" Why do I feel the need to be dishonest with her as to my intent, my friending her on FB and asking her not to tell her mother?" Watch out, as if mom learns of this...you'll be lucky to leave with your life...and no police involvement.

    You behavior, all of it, does not happen in a vacuum, it has ripple effects in ALL you do..it affects everybody! Don't kid yourself that it does not. You have SO much power over this child. Know this; you've may well have already somewhat damaged her, and she might have difficulty trusting adult men right now and in HER future relationships with men....when SHE is ready for a mature relationship.

    YOU MUST be the adult here! You must stop this behavior now and defriend her, but first explain to her that what you're doing (and what you've done) is not right and explain why you're ending contact, so she can maybe have a chance of a healthy relationship with an adult male.

    Again, beware, as if mom learns of this...you'll be lucky to leave with your life...and no police involvement.

    the one dude is right. law officials do monitor what goes on with under aged children. you are walking on very thin ice, IF indeed a platonic relationship all you want. you need to be aware that the judicial system has a very dim view. law enforcement, yes, law enforcement will bend the law and truth to toss your ass in jail if they so desire. if you wish to keep in touch, happy birthday, merry christmas and happy new year should be the extent of it.

    Just end the communication with this girl. If the "Observers" see this, you will be in trouble. There is so much out there for you to enjoy, don't have the possibility of going to jail or being identified as a pedophile for the rest of you life following this young of person. It's not worth it. Look on the internet for sites that you are comfortable with. You will not have to worry about being identified and you can enjoy some much of what there is available. Good luck.
