As someone who doesn't have the best father figure, I would always crush on older men who would be paternal, but obviously such a relationship would be wrong as a) your loves is coming due to a messed up mental state (as you have been shown no parental love, you confuse that feeling of being appreciated as romantic love) b) there is a power dynamic that can be dangerously exploited, even unwillingly and c) a lack of experience that is gathered throughout time can lead to a relationship that frankly isn't equal. I hope it doesn't end up romantic, at least for a long time, and it's just a nice story about paternal love, instead of romantic love.
