I am pretty attracted to this man and I feel abnormal, strange and guilty. He's quite handsome but I'm very shy so I never approach him or speak to him first. Unfortunately this little crush arose only after I learned that HE mentioned his attraction to me (to a mutual coworker) at first I found it sleazy that he called me the perfect young girl and so cute and all this stuff but then I noticed myself getting more dressed up in the mornings, getting a little happy when he's there, etc. I will never ever act on any of these feelings because I have a bf and this dude is 5 years younger than my dad but is what I'm feeling sort of normal? :( thank you for any and all help.

To answer your question, yes, I would say you are normal.
