To be suddenly lusting after my first crush....35 years on

I had a dream 2 night ago about my first crush....I was totally besotted for ages with the most gorgeous man....

I was 18, he was 26. We worked in the same building. My job took me round various offices and I'd always stop and chat... we got on well, had a good laugh and joke, nothing more.....

Until in the local nightclub I spotted him and asked for a slow dance, he accepted....it was one if the most glorious 6 mins!! He was excited (!), I was excited and in 7th heaven. He told me he "always looked twice" at me when I walked in and what a lovely girl I was blah, blah.....but he had a girlfriend and couldn't take it further.

So that was that....fleeting but utter heaven and I still get butterflies in my stomach thinking about it now Blush

He's now a very successful local businessman and there are gorgeous photos of him on the net....all suited and booted...God. he's still divine!!

So since my dream I've been, to coin my mum's favourite term "giddy as a kipper" with lust!!

I'm very happily married...I'm sure DH would chuckle if he knew my thoughts...he's very kaud back....what's wrong with me? AIBU....should a 50 yr old woman get a grip and stop acting like a love sick teenager or is it ok to indulge in a bit of fantasizing over what could have been!! Perhaps it's the menopause Confused.....anyone else??

You are lucky I googled my first crush and he is now fat and bald .. he used to have blonde curly hair and piercing blue eyes. I do know we all get older but he has really let himself go.

Hi Jo....I wish he had let himself go....I wouldn't be so in lust if he had!! Yes, aging can be horribly cruel sometimes!!

It's your ovaries last hurrah 🧐

Very common to get all squishy over crushes at this age

Basically your body is saying " Closing down Baby sale, fuck me now while you can" GrinGrinGrin

@LaurieFairyCake...I can so identify with that last sentiment...the thoughts of having that opportunity has set me off again Blush ....I'm meant to be working...I just cant concentrate....this is ridiculous!!
