Yep. It's kind of like the old joke.

What do you call a single, 300-lb. bald guy with halitosis? A loser.

What do you call a single, 300-lb. bald guy with halitosis and $10 million? Somebody with potential.

The the OP --
Take heed of the expression: "you don't pi$$ (or $hit) in your own back yard"
Not recommended: the downside outweighs the upside.

Exactly. After getting the liposuction, hair transplant, and brand new set of teeth he'll be as good as a movie star!

You better start looking ahead ... is he gonna be so "hot" when you're 45 and he's 69? Why not just skip to the 69 year old now and cut through all the BS.

It is rather common for situations like this to emerge on college campuses -- young female student, middle aged male professor. Most of the time both parties know what they're getting into: she's into him because he's mature, different, experienced, exotic; he is into her because she is young, energetic, willing, hot. They have something going for a while, both get what they want, and then it dies out. Happens all the time.

Not every relationship has to turn into some lifelong/long-term thing. Sometimes a little fling is all two people want or need.

Right. Good question? We all glossed over this. Even if he wasn't, it would make a romance imprudent.

Of course he could be attracted to you, but if he hasn't made it known to you i don't think you should do anything, not unless you don't care about your job!

Yes for all the reasons already mentioned and you wouldn't feel at all attracted to him if he was the janitor so what does that tell you?

If he's your boss, if he's smart then he knows the number one rule of management : You don't hump the help.
