Don't feel fanciable at 42

So, just come back from first bit of this afternoon's school run with two dds, due to go back and get ds in a minute. When picking up dd in reception, saw nursery teacher in her class on whom I have had a monster crush for three years now (he was both dds' teacher when they were in nursery). There was no reason to even say hello as did not catch his eye and as usual this sort of thing makes me feel like crying.
Then when I got home looked at myself in the mirror and thought who am I kidding anyway - I am 42.
So my question is, and this is probably going to sound silly, is it still be possible to be fancied at my age? Is marriage partly there so we still get an opportunity to shag despite no longer being as fresh faced? Know this is cynical and I am sure loads of married people really love each other, but as dh and I have a very difficult relationship which is at the moment characterised by total and absolute detachment, I don't feel very positive.
I would just love it if I thought somebody had a monster crush on me!!!!!
Probably sound totally naive but please be kind if this is what you think!
