I am 21 and I'm in love with my 59 year old mentor!!

I am 21 and I'm in love with my 59 year old mentor, I know what love is as I have 2 children and I was with my previous partner for 5 years...I don't know what to do or say to my mentor...should I tell him how I feel? He has helped me out a lot and he understands me but I'm scared that if I tell him he might become distant...but should I keep this bottled up inside me? Or should I tell him? What should I say?

I not so sure you're in love with this man. I understand you know what it is all about, but you may love what this man has done for you. He is probably intelligent and makes good decisions in his life and is a very nice person. Don't mistake this for love. He has done you a favor with mentoring, but if he has the same feelings as you, I'd let him come to you. I wouldn't want to ruin a great friendship like it sounds you have with him. Good Luck!
