hey! so, minors can have crushes on adults and be attracted to adults. that’s… pretty damn normal? i had plenty of crushes on 20+ year old celebrities when i was a young teenager. there was a teacher at my middle school i had a crush on, too. but! if that teacher, or any adult, ever reciprocated those feelings for me, i would’ve been terrified and extremely uncomfortable. adults are not supposed to have crushes on minors. they are not supposed to be attracted to minors. a minor having a crush on an adult is not the problem here. adults returning those feelings is the problem.
