Am I too old, is this a mid life crisis?

[Cassavaflower]

Am I being unreasonable to have a crush on a guy 16 years my junior?
I feel like I'm going crazy. I work from home and never interact with anyone in the office but a couple of weeks ago I was asked to meet one of the managers. I was expecting an older guy judging by his emails. I wasn't expecting him to be mesmerising. I lost it, getting tongue tied, blushing. I mean, just awful. He's funny and clever and 16 years younger than me. He's single. We are meeting up tomorrow as he wants to see me before I turn 50. I've been literally dreaming about him.
I'm having a midlife crisis aren't I?
Should I just accept I'm being silly and enjoy the coffee and think no more of it? I've been single for years and years.
God, I have it bad. Oh and to avoid drip feeding he tells me I'm awesome all the time but that doesn't mean anything right?

One of the nicest relationships I ever had started when I was 37 and he was 20. We were together for about a year and a half and stayed close friends for a good ten years. We've not been in touch for about a year and a half now, but nothing bad happened at any point and it was a lovely relationships.

I think there's actually a thread here somewhere about it, all 'omg this young bloke is chatting me up, am I mad??'

Go for it, it's no more or less likely to be successful than a relationship with someone the same age.

Ha, super old thread! Yay for good news though!
