Twenty-six year old virgin, has a crush on 18 year old guy; Is this wrong?

Yes, I'm twenty-six years old and I'm still a virgin. Not because of religious views or because no guy has never approached me. I've never been in love and maybe I want all that old fashioned hearts and flowers dating stuff. I've never got that from a guy, they always seemed to treat my virginity as some sort of affliction that I needed riding of. If I got that feeling from a guy I just would walk away or stop talking to him. I've never had a boyfriend and I'm not broken up about it, however, my inexperience is embarrassing. This guy I work with, I don't know there's something about him that attracts me to him, and I feel like he feels the same. I tried to learn more about him and I found some qualities I don't like but, they aren't deal breakers until I found out that he's 18! I'm 26! Maturity wise, we might be some what equal but he might not see me that way and I don't want to be rejected by him. He might only see me as a friendly co-worker and it may just be me that is attracted to him. I don't know how to handle this situation. Should I just tell him how I'm feeling? Will my age creep him out?

Your age will more than likely not be an issue. As far as coming right out and telling him you like him, I do not think it is a good idea. It may be better to take a softer approach and ask him if he is free after work to get together. A casual date will let you know if there is mutual attraction. To hard of an approach might just spoil a good work relationship. Good luck~!
