QuietHeart, I have a similar thing with older, professional women. It has got a lot less intense since I started therapy, but since I was 13 or 14 I began to feel obsessed with a sucession of women (I am female, 22). I knew that it all stemed from me not having a close emotional bond with my mum, but it was really hard to deal with, and at times I questioned my sexuality (despite not wanting a sexual relationship with any of these women). I would try to get close to them, want to know about their personal lives, and fantasize about them somehow finding out that I was depressed (even though outwardly I hid my depression very well).
I don't really have any suggestions for you, I just wanted you to know that you are not alone and that there is somebody out there who knows how it feels.
