Mike and Nicole’s OPP: I’ve Fallen For My Boss

Dear Mike and Nicole,

Let me start by saying, I know how ridiculous this sounds.

I am writing because I've fallen for the man I babysit for and don't know what to do. I'm 22 years old and he is a 38 year old widower. One night last week he came home a bit drunk and ended up staying up all night talking about his late wife. He really opened up and confided in me and said I reminded him of her. Then, he kissed me. He stopped suddenly and apologized, but since then I can't get him out of my head. He probably thinks I'm too young for him. He hasn't said a word about it since or acted awkwardly at all, but I'm the one who feels like I want to say something. I want to tell him how I feel, but I don't know exactly what to say. His children are 10 and 8 years old and we get along so well. Is it a bad idea to get involved or could it be fate? Should I tell him how I feel?
