DEAR MASSI, My friend has a brother who is 16. He's very mature for his age but what's really bothering me is that I am attracted to him! I am 13 years older than him and the strange thing is he calls me aunt.

His sister has been my friend for many years and we get on really well. I don't want to ruin anything but sometimes I get the feeling I should tell her brother how I feel.

What will happen if I do? Is there something wrong with me? Does this make me a pervert?

MASSI SAYS,

For some women, the idea of a relationship with a much younger man can be quite attractive.

However I do think you will be asking for trouble if you let your thoughts rule your actions. Your best friend would not find the idea very nice and imagine if the tables were turned.

Despite his appearance and behaviour, in the eyes of most he is still a minor and you risk much if you ignore this. And in such circumstances, perhaps you should consider putting some distance between yourself and this person.
