Is it natural for me--a 16 year old boy--to have an undying crush and attraction toward a 30 year old woman at my Church who's always nice to me, offering me food and dressing attractively? I mean, I freaking have fantasies about marrying her...

What the hell? No, she's a 30 year old Greek woman who ironically has a daughter only 2 years younger than me that I am actually not as attracted to.

So, she dresses nice and wants to give you food but she doesn't work in a restaurant AND she is old enough to be your mom...

I think it's normal to be attracted to a good woman, but don't get carried away with it.  Oh, and you may want clean up your language.  That's a sure fire way to turn any lady off, even ones young enough for you.

When I was 21 I was infatuated with a 40 year old woman from New Zealand who had kids and was married to an adulterous pastor and who I'd never met. ... It's normal to be attracted to people. Grin

I have fantasies with the lady who cuts my hair. Something about the way she rubs my head when washing my hair, and gently caressing my hair strands when styling it.

She just became single. Hmm to make a move or not...

Dude, that's totally a signal she's interested. There's one way to make sure: next time you go, compliment her on her technique. If she thanks you or otherwise responds well that means she's way into you, because if she's not into you and you complimented her like that she'd say something like "Wait, I don't want to mislead you, I don't want you to be my baby daddy."

I'm not wise, and I'm definitely not elderly. LOL! laugh I have been around the block enough times, though, to know that there are just some things that are better discussed with your parents, your psychologist, or your priest than with anonymous yahoos on an Internet discussion board.

James is into women, but I'm not sure he wants a lady.  Cool And being of similar tongue to James, I think I've resigned myself to never getting anyone especially ladylike. I can't see myself in a serious relationship with someone I wouldn't feel comfortable cussing around.

Is it natural for me--a 16 year old boy--to have an undying crush and attraction toward a 30 year old woman at my Church who's always nice to me, offering me food and dressing attractively? I mean, I freaking have fantasies about marrying her...
Is she a hostess at Olive Garden?

What the hell? No, she's a 30 year old Greek woman who ironically has a daughter only 2 years younger than me that I am actually not as attracted to.

30 year old woman with 14 year old daughter.  I think the mother wants you to go out with her daughter.  The mother believes that you are a better person than her daughter's father.  You should ask where is the father of her daughter and ask about the relationship between the mother and her own father.  Chances are that you'll find some dysfunction between the mother and her own father and more dysfunction between the daughter and her father.  You don't want to be an idealized version of someone else.

He has to learn his own lessons in life.  If he wants to be someone's idealized daddy, he should go for it.

So does that mean I get both her and her daughter?

And for the record, let's just face it. If I can't find a woman who's comfortable with me using excessive profanity then I will never be fully comfortable and at ease around her.

You've never been to a Greek diner.  You would feel so at home with the profanity in Greek, broken English and Spanish.

And you would feel at home with both mother and daughter until both put their foot down and tell you to stop cussing.

So is it true that Greek women are the most insane, angriest, naggiest overbearing bossy women to ever walk the face of the planet?--the epitome of evil--the type of woman who would literally contemplate killing me in my sleep if I told her that that dress did in fact make her behind look big?

It’s called discipline.  Develop a little; it will help you in many ways.  A man who is unable to control his tongue is a man unable to control a lot of things.

Guys I absolutely love her. She drives me insane. What do I do? I can't stop thinking about her. She's all that's on my mind and I can't take my eyes off of her at Church. I wanna marry her!!! What do I do? If I don't handle this soon then one day I am going to end up doing something really stupid and embarrassing--like hitting on her or blurting out "I love you!!!111" in front of everyone and estranging myself from my Church forever Sad
