Today, I learned that the guy I've had a crush on for almost 6 months at work is significantly younger than me. So young that I could have been his babysitter growing up. He's 21, I'm 34. FML

Depends how old you are

Today, after I met a guy online and we'd became fast friends, talking every day about everything, things got flirty after half a year of talking. A year in, I finally got the time to meet up with him. It turns out he lied about his age. He's 8 years younger and in college. I fell head over heels. Help. FML

There is nothing wrong with that. You fancy him as an adult; you're entitled to!

Since both are adults, and you met as adults, this is not a problem. My uncle married his husband who is my age (13 years his junior). They met as adults and all was great from there. You can still get to know him and see if things may be reciprocated.
