Daughter has crush on pastor

I'm new here so I hope this is the right group. My 17 y/o daughter has a HUGE crush on her youth minister who is 21 and has a girlfriend. My daughter's father has never been in the picture and I don't really date, so any guy who gives her attention and is nice to her she latches onto and there is the problem.
She has ADD and Asperger's so she is immature for her age and probably has the maturity of a 14 or 15 year old. Do I talk to the minister? I know if I do that I could not tell her bc it would mortify her, but feel as a responsible parent I should talk to him. Anyone have any advice on how to handle it...maybe other teens. She does have a lot of attractions to a lot of boys, but I think that is normal. She is not sexually active and has never really had a boyfriend. Anyway, any advice would help. Thanks Posted on 10/24/09, 08:10 pm |

I am 17 with ADD, but I would have to say that I probalbly would talk to her and tell her the truth that he already has a boyfriend. but you are probably not going change the fact that she likes him.

woa woa woa...no, don't tell the pastor...Remember: its a "crush"...a crush is very minor, if you told him, and somehow your daughter found out..she would hold it against you for a very very very long time...
a responsible parent? yes, you are one, but there's a line between responsible and overbearing if its a HUGE crush...I'm guessing its kind of an infatuation? Well, I've had plenty of infatuations on older men in my days...but they havn't resulted in anything...As long as you know that she isn't going to act on it/the pastor won't do anything to reciprocate the feelings...Don't tell him, stay out of it....If its unhealthy, talk to your daughter FIRST if you're really worried...or not at all
