Is it normal to fall for someone 8 years older without meeting them?

it's normal but not acceptable by society.that's two different things./something being unacceptable to society doen't make it uncommon or wrong necessarily.for anyone to say you were wrong for having those feelings is absurd.thos feelings were real because you bonded with this person./the rest is a matter of legality.if this person had been a bit younger it would've been okay to have dated him.unfortunately ina forum like this you'll receive a lot of ridiculous answers.anyway,thinking about this guy is normal.you're 20 now?sounds like you'd kind of like to find this guy again ..I think it would be interesting./a lot 's happened in 8 years.if you remember his user name why not search him out? it could be fun to contact him.of course he might be married now or otherwise attached.but maybe not.if you remember his user name or anything else,i say try to find him.maybe try the same chat place again.anyway,long story short,yeah it's normal to think about him..especially if you were bonding as you said you were./
