Is it normal that i fooled around with 35 year old?

I've had feelings for this man for a while. It started because he was my friends boss.. And I got hired shortly after making him my boss now also. We work in a cafe and it's a very nice place with nice people. At first I didn't see him as more than a boss, but then I started to have feelings for him. I would talk about him to my friends. I was really starting to adore him. We would talk often. We would talk about normal things I would talk about with my friends. Problems we has in our lives. That all seems okay but I'm 17 and he's 35. Even with the age difference aside it was just talking. Until I confessed my feelings for him. At first he was shocked and kindof freaking out in his head. But after a few more months of talking we started to hangout. At these hangouts we would hold hands.. And kiss. It progressed to some touching. I'm really scared that he will get in trouble and he knows the risks but he likes me. He gets so scared something's but won't give me up. I'm not helping though. It's hard to let go. Is this normal?

    Given that he's both that much older than you AND he's your boss, this probably isn't a good idea. He should know better, honestly.

    Age is just a number.. As long as it's consentual and you both feel right about this -who cares about something as trivial as age.

    Legal age is 16.

    Love has no age.
    Just make sure you turn 18 before you guys do anything really serious.

    True, but he won't, we've stopped with the fooling around. I'll be 18 in December. I don't know if we're allowed to be public when he's my boss. Would I have to leave my job?

    This is the first I've written about it and this man does have a girlfriend, not a wife.

    The age difference isn't the worst of it all, it's the fact he's my boss.

      so not the fact that you are a minor and he could end up in jail?

    There was another post exactly like this: same ages, circumstances except he was also married. Maybe you are the same person and left that out.

    Anyway: no. You are a minor, (under age 18) and he is your boss, and he could easily lose his job over this. Maybe the "forbidden fruit" part of this makes it harder to give up. But really, what are you up to?

    Didn't make myself clear, most fantasize but never go for it because they know it to be wrong.

    It is illegal and someone can report him. There were stories about guys being charge and labeled sex offenders for the rest of their life (as far as I know it is for the rest of your life). For his sake if he is dumb enough not to know those things stop it until you are at least 18. On a side note it is actually normal of you to be attracted to guys who are older or old. A friend of mine back in HS had a crush on her 45 year old neighbor and would try finding any excuse to go and visit him. The guy was definitely attracted to her but he never made any moves. And believe me she tried. One thing that i can tell you for sure is no matter how mature you think you are, at 17 you are still a kind and believe me he is not after your brains. I am sorry to say it but if a 35 year old goes after a 17 year old there are certainly some issues. Men are naturally attracted to high school girls, it is sort of a fantasy for them, like a nurse or a teacher. I am just afraid that for him it is just a fling and you in the end will get hurt.

    It could be worse. I remember a 15-16 year old girl bragging about how she fooled around with some 23 year olds before. Yeah, she was a fast one. And my junior year, I heard she'd got knocked up. Wasn't a surprise.

    If 17 is of legal age where you are then it's fine. Just use protection.

    it's an odd thing, when I was around 20 I had no interest in younger girls-and I found older (30-40yr) women to be extremely hot (some of them).

    Now I'm 40ish and I'm very attracted to younger girls and the good thing is they seem to be pretty drawn to me too. However I do look younger for my age, so they might be thinking I'm in my late 20s or early 30s.

    Anyways, I think it's a good thing, but the only problem is that he's your boss and that could cause some issues in your relation. So just watch out for that among other things.

    I'm only turned off by such relationships if I feel the girl is getting a bad deal out of it-like he's ugly, abusive, she's dating beneath her level, etc.

    I'm aiming for girls around 25, since they've matured, got a lot of experiences/education/career under their belt and are probably more sensible...but ya if they're a bit younger and into me, I'm not about to turn down a cutie-patootie. :)

    I made a very bad choice of fucking the hell out of a 37 year old girl last night, I'm 22. She was very seductive and well when you haven't done anything sexual for a week it's a bit hard to resist a woman's touch. Would I ever date her? Fuck no, your a dumb ass for even thinking about it. He's 35 years old, for you it's somewhat normal, but if a 35 year old guy is hooking up with a 17 year old AND CONSIDERING DATING HER, he's fucked in the head big time. Tell him get a girl his own age, he's WAY too old for you..
