Is it normal that i'm 18 and i have a slight crush on a 10 year old?

That shit isn't cute. I have three young brothers, one of them is 11 and if I heard that some 18 year old girl was acting like this I'd kick her ass. Just because you can't pull a dude your age you need to go pray on little kids. So just remember when youre posting your comments about how it's cute and innocent, shit like this can grow out of control.

You should question whether or not you are a suitable person to be working with kids. Sorry if that sounds harsh but there are certain stories of female adults who abuse children/the trust of children for their own gain, sexual or otherwise.
This 'story' creeped me out a lot.
You say ' I don't want to date him or anything'...heck, why would you ever put those words together in a sentence??? He's just 10 years old!
If a grown woman of 18 was saying these things about my own cute 9 year old nephew, I would be physically sick.

You want him to crush on you back? You probably would have acted in it too you disgusting pedophilic dick lick. Never breed, woman! NEVER BREED!

Your crush on him is wrong. Flirting with him is wrong. Wishing he had a crush on you back is wrong.

It's nice that you've bonded with him, but why do you want him to have a crush on you? Sounds unusual to me. I mean, don't you want a guy your age to like you?

Selena Gomez is very rapetastic.

It's normal. I met my current boyfriend when I was 11 and he was 19. He was actually my babysitter. Don't worry- it wasn't gross. I didn't start dating him till I was 13 and he was 21 so it was TOTALLY normal. Turned out ok for me. Lol jk. You're a fuckin creeper

Honestly, if a person is no longer pre-pubescent, they aren't children. America babies people until they are well into their prime. It's normal to have an attraction to someone who has started to produce hormones..which is at a different age for everyone. Males mature slower than females..but you have to take into account their emotional, and mental maturity. With that in mind, you should wait until he's a bit more mature until you act on anything. Just look out for him plantonically. That being said, I don't think you actually like him..it sounds to me like you just want to be attractive, and admired by boys of all ages.

If you are merely bonding to the child, then thats nice, normal, and cute.
I'll just assume from your description that there's nothing more than what you wrote.
Basically, to me, it sounds like he's kind of like a nephew to you?
You may want to cut back on the flirting though, that could give people a wrong impression. Also, make sure you don't favor him over the other kids. It's part of your job to treat them equal, i'd reckon.

It is wrong. In my opinion, someone like that shouldn't be working with children.

Gender issue involved:
If anyone tries to justify this, I am simply amazed. We all know how the comments would be if a male that was working with children had a crush on a ten year old.

You are jealous of a 10yo who has a crush on a celebrity and not you?

Solution: Become a celebrity.

I'm not going to say that this is normal; because if it is a legitimate crush (romantic/sexual) towards a child who likely hasn't hit puberty, you should probably seek some sort of help, because, no, that is far from normal.
However, you may be labeling this as something it is indeed not.
When women reach adulthood, or even sometimes puberty; they may take an affinity to children/ a child that they see as vulnerable and in need of a parent. In other words, it may just be motherly love; and you're confusing it for a romantic feeling when it isn't. Right now, it seems as though you only crave platonic affection- which is they key.
DO NOT attempt to initiate anything more of a relationship with this boy, do not experiment with touching him inappropriately, do not let on that your feelings may be romantic. It's illegal, and traumatizing, in his case. If you do feel the urges to do this, avoid contact.

It's normal to crush on underage people. It's not normal to hope they have a crush on you and act on it. I usually put it out of my mind quickly when I learn there underage. It's been a struggle lately but thankfully he's a celebrity so it's highly unlikely I'm even going to run into him.

I'm 43 years old.. And I think my daughters daughter is so hot just wanna fuck her 9 year old ass

Not normal at all.

For me, being that kind of closen with a kid was not bad. It only turns worst if you're flirting a little boy, which can lead to potential abuse. You can hug the boy w/o flirt, or else you're a pedo...

It's normal. When i first arrived in China i stayed with this family whose daughter was 11 and very,very, pretty. i was dying to see her pussy and one morning saw her though the curtain which divided the room we shared. used to get massive boners sometimes and always made sure she could see if she wanted - and i knew she would look- but in china shed never say anything. one day during Spring Festival when her parents were visitng relatives, one of her friends stayed and it was brilliant. got to see them really close up and smell, and showed them my stiffy and let them touch. wanted to screw them so much but common sense said "NO WAY". China is a dangerous place with so many beauties.

I've had similar sensations (except the flirting part), but it derived from a motherly point of view. I wanted to be their mom, I wanted them to want me as their mom, to love me as their mom, to treat me as their mom with the love for a mom... And I grew jealous when someone else had the kid (even jealous of their own parents!). But of course, it never became problematic. I kept it private to my self...

Are you sure its a crush? Maybe its a motherly/fatherly thing?

That depends, are you wanting the kids attention because you are bonding with him, and confusing your feelings? That sounds like what it is too me, I agree with TerryVie.

Meh, not really but I had a crush on a 12 year old I was tutoring last year in a class I had in school and I was 17. He's going to be hot when he grows up.

You're being reckless with the flirting and you should certainly refrain from any unnecessary physical contact. It's not normal to seek the physical approval of a child. He doesn't even understand what a crush is yet.

This is not really normal and kind of gross

One in the eye, Make em' cry!

Hmm i'm turned on. Maybe you'll go down as one of those female teachers that have sex with their young male students in the car.

If you're a girl and the child is a boy, then it's ok. All 10 year old boys want to hook up with 18 year old girls.

When I was 17 I hooked up with a 12 year old boy. He was a bit of a loser at school, but afterwards he was so much more popular because he was the first boy in his year to lose his virginity. Everyone thought he was the class stud.
So go for it, sister. You'll be doing him a favour.
