It's interesting how quickly the conversation became about dating and sex when the OP made no mention.
I find absolutely nothing wrong, abhorrent, discusting, icky, or otherwise maladaptive about finding a member of the opposite (or same) sex attractive, regardless of their age, whether it be 10 or 50.
I also don't see anything wrong with having maniacal fantasties about slaughtering thousands of people, burning people alive, killing animals, having sex with animals, neutering oneself, impaling another individual on a spear, or raping and sodomizing tens of thousands of young jewish boys.
Why? Because I draw an incredibly strong line between the realm of thought and imagination and the world of reality. Some people seem to have the impression that "if you think it, you must want to do it.." but I do not subscribe to that belief at all. I can think about all I want, from good to bad, and mean nothing by it. It is my words and actions that determine my morality, not what crosses my mind, aimlessly or otherwise.
So think about whatever you want, be "attracted" to whomever you want. If you, however, ACT on those thoughts -- you must be prepared for any and all consequences of such action.
