Is it okay to think my adoptive dad is cute?

It’s okay…I think it’s totally cool. As long as he doesn’t like you back anyways. You should be proud of your ‘father’s’ charming looks! Good luck!

it’s normal, many girls think that their dad is cute if he is ofcourse. just don’t do anything that is imapropriate or something that you will regret. if he start acting weird on you or doing things, tell someone imediately, he needs help.

I honestly don’t think this is normal. My best friends step-brother finds my best friend attractive and it’s just not right.

well that is kind of werid cuz they still share one parent.. and seeing shes not even blood related i think its ok. its not like she wants to have sex with him.she just finds him cute

Well the way I was raised and the way I beleive. It isn’t right. Where I’m from its out right disgusting. Do I beleive it’s disgusting? No. I just don’t think it’s right. Family no matter what is family.

if u mean by “cute” as u’re into him, then nope

It would be different if he had raised you from birth because you would see him completely in a “fatherly” way. You would likely still think he was an attractive man, but you wouldn’t view him as being “cute”.

The problem is that you were adopted by this man when you were 12 years old - already starting to develop your ideas of what makes boys appealing to you. Is it normal to have these feelings? I wouldn’t say it was abnormal, but you need to be careful about how you proceed. If your thoughts are getting in the way of having a healthy father-daughter relationship, then you might want to talk to someone about it. Does your school have counselors you can go to?

The important things here is that you understand that you are not doing anything wrong … we can’t help who we find attractive, but we can decide how to act upon it, and it seems like you are determined to view this man only as a father.

If it’s your friends “stepbrother,” then they do not share a parent. They both have their own parents, but are two families coming together. They are not blood-related. If it’s her half-brother, that means they share one parent.

ShyAne, maybe you did not read the whole post, she’s having these thought b/c she only met the man 4 years ago, when she was already 12 years old… there is nothing disgusting about it. She is having conflicting thoughts.

Well as long as u dont go strokin:)lol

its okay but a little weird just make sure it stays at cute and nothing else, btw i dont think you should tell him he’s cute might freak him out alittle and be awkward xx

yes. now they are your parents and you should give them respect
