Fancying people who are married

Ive liked this man who is twice my age for about 8 years now (since I was 12), I don't want to marry or go out with him cause firstly hes not like that he would laugh, secondly it would be strange I just wouldn't do it and he is already married with kids older than me. I do not show it at all in fact I don't even make eye contact or speak to him much because its embarrasing. Its really sad and its even worse because im a virgin im just so uncool but I can't help the feeling thing. I have been out with a guy but I never fancied him and find it hard to fancy guys my own age they just seem too boyish and immature. I think it is fading off a tiny bit now but what the hell why am I so odd?:redface: :frown:

Are you looking to him as a replacement father figure, thus subconciously misplacing your feelings and believing you fancy him?

I think you know deep down that it's not worth it and he won't recriprocate feelings for you so just stop trying to make yourself fancy other guys and be yourself. You don't need to fancy someone.

It used to be more than a father figure but I see what you mean, Ive always known deep down that nothings going to happen obviosly and I don't want it to im happy with how things are ..im satisfied just fancying him. The thing is I shouldn't have this thing for him anyway expecially for 8 years its just abnormal. When/if I get a boyfriend in the future I want one to look/act like him though lol.

Is your father around?

I ask because fancying someone that much older than you when you were 12 sounds like you have unresolved issues with male role models, particulary father figures.

Yes my father has always been around, I think it might have been that he was the only male who gave me attention.

You need to get over it. There are so many issues here and they're all wrong. Make a mental note - married men are out of bounds and it's a waste of time fancying them. Then perhaps the other issues will fall into place.

Good luck

What issues? Maybe its just my personality

I think it's an issue to fancy someone who was 32 when you were 12. There is something not quite right about that.

Married men are very much out of bounds, which I'm sure you know anyway. But I don't think the issue is you fancying married men. More the fact you fancy this man.

He was a lot older than 32, but anyway kids have crushes on teachers don't they? It was only the same as that except its not gone away because he is still in my life.

well if fancying a certain age is an issue then so is being gay. Hell I used to fancy my piano teacher.

That is wrong, expecially that its lasted all them years a crush shouldn't last that long.

The sooner you move on and try and look for someone nearer your own age the better you will be.

Theres nothing wrong with liking people who are married, its just wrong to like them at age 12.

did none of you get off on Princess Leia when she was tied up to jabba the hutt in a gold bikini, she must have been about 30 in return of the jedi and I had a crush on her when I was about 8.....I don't see anything immoral in that!
