Love someone you can't have

I'm 18, and she's 43. I find her beautiful and infinitely fascinating, I've been deeply in love with this woman for two of the three years I've known her. Is it normal to love someone you can never have?

    It's normal, but I don't see why you feel like you could never have her. Age is just a number. If you love her, tell her. It would be better to express yourself than to forever torment yourself over this...

    I'm going to be honest. You could confess to this women and begin dating her, but the relationship would probably only last a few years because yes, age differences will get in the way.

    It's normal to like anyone, the heart wants what it wants. You and her are at different stages in life, so if you have doubts you may not want to pursue it.

    I know what it feels like to like someone you can't have. Most guys I've liked are either douches, not interested in me and/or like someone else, too far from me, or famous/semi famous. Or any/all of the above lol. My current crush is single and really nice, I just don't get to see him often because he lives a couple hours from me.

    Yeah I love Indian,Arab and Turkish girls but they only seem to date their own men. I prefer younger girls but they seem to prefer boys their own age.

    Your wasting time, this relationship with her may only be for a short time, but intense it could be, and after all the worst that can happen is you make a move and you get a little embarrassed, but well worth the risk!

    I'm female and definitely am straight, but when I was in my third year of middleschool to my senior year of highschool I used to have this massive crush on one of my closest girl friend. She was really kind, smart (vale victorian), a bit selfish, and flamboyant. She was an inch smaller than me and she loved to sit on my lap and bite me, which I found extremely cute! She had asperger syndrome, which is when you display an intense interest in one or more things and have problems with interacting with other people. She loved to hug me and compare my scent with other people's saying that mine was the most interesting. We talked about a lot of things together, that is until she moved to Washington during my sophomore year of highschool. We still keep in touch, but I hate that she's gone and that I can't have her.

      you know that smell is the most powerful sense for memory, when she smells you again she's gonna remember everything you made her feel, don't give up on this, go and find her.

    Well, if you've known her for three years I'm sure there's very good reasons for why you feel the way you do towards her. You can't help who you fall for sometimes, 43 isn't that bad, sure on paper it is but I've met quite a lot who look rather young.

      How can she look at me the same way I do her when she's 20 something years older. Her laugh and that somewhat raspy voice are like music that makes me weak.

        Have you ever heard of a cougar? She may very well be interested. You'd never know unless you try.

    Welcome to my world. I always fall in love with those I can't have. The worst one for me was in high school; a boy I was in love with for 2 and a half years, but he never returned his olve for me. At least you can talk to the one you love. I've never been able to. It used to make me cry, but now I've become used to it. You are not alone, my friend. Just remember, even though you can't be with her, life still goes on.

      I remember in high school, I shared class and bus with the most beautiful girl in the whole school, she sat next to me on the bus, and next to me in class, I must have thought of her so much actually that she began to like me. She would touch my hair and this and that and I didn't want to believe something this perfect wanted anything to do with me. I let my shyness ruined what was probably meant to be, I mean the hottest girl in the whole school scheduled to sit next to me in class, who tried talking to me every morning on the bus, but I was meak and chose my ipod instead. FUCKING HIGHSCHOOL!!
