Do you think my crush might be crushing back?

I'm aware that I will sound about 13 years old in this post but I promise I'm a fully grown functioning adult Grin have NC because I do so every so often, but long time poster.

Just wanted some opinions on whether I'm reading too much into this? I'm just musing because it ultimately really doesn't matter either way!

I went to a gig last night. Posted something on social media about how hot the lead singer is Blush

A guy I like then made a point of pointing out how physically similar he is to this man. He commented something vague on my post, and then went through the singers page to find a photo of him, sent it to me and said "we're basically the same person".

Do you think this means he wants me to find him attractive? We have had a bit of a flirtation going on for what feels like forever but it's really unlikely anything will ever come from it (we are at very different stages in our life and he is quite a bit younger than me (20 to my 29).

But I've always thought that despite the flirtation the crush was really one sided. Do you reckon he might have a bit of a crush back? Or am I over thinking it??

It's sexism OP. Have fun on your date!

My only concern about this is for the OP, because overthinkers rarely have fun when they have 'fun flings'. Too much overthinking goes on.

I agree that people would look at the whole picture and consider if their parents opinions were correct. But you're not getting the whole picture here and yet still judging? The only facts you know about me are my age, marital status, and that I have a child. My friend might have other considerations based on who I actually am as a person.
Of course I only know that. You knew we would only know what you posted and yet still wanted opinions.

Actually, yes I would have the same reservations about 20 year old woman going out with a man of 29, with kids. For the same reason. Life experience impacts maturity hugely.

Age itself isnt a factor. It's my opinion, that life experience can be.

And actually I wasnt judging you. I was judging Your comments about not wanting to date and the naivety about losing the friendship if it didnt work out. Not judging wether you should date him. While I have reservations and wouldn't do it. You are both adults and it's up to you.

You asked for opinions and I gave them. Not really sure why you are so defensive.
