They like you.

Does anyone else think that it is only natural for you to be attracted to your boss?
I felt attraction towards my "boss" in America and in fact she tried to make it happen. But I never planned to react on it so I ignored it (it made me nervous a lot though). She actually became my boss some weeks after I was officially employed when she got promoted, so I actually had a crush on first sight, before she was actually my boss. She introduced me into company though. I've kept ignoring this whole attraction thing and it was the best decision of my life, as the time showed. One year later I was especially glad that I never got myself involved... but she happened to turn to hate me. It's rather a complex and constant struggle over money. She could never handle it and always tried to bash me for it, but it only backfired to her and the company.

I'm telling you for your own well-being: romances should not have their place in the workforce, that's the first and last thing you should recall each moment when you enter or walk out of the doors in your workplace. Workpalce is the place where you work. You don't use it for meeting people to have sex with or to date with. They are your colleagues and unless you're working in a huge corporation where you can "lazy your way upon the others" or unless you're working as a politician/in government sector, it will NOT be a good idea. You should be focused on making money and advancing yourself, or trying to figure how to run your own business, collecting not only practical knowledge but also contacts and potential clients for tomorrow. End of story.

My boss is so hot. She's from Egypt and if she wasn't an engineering manager she'd be on Covergirl magazine.

I think it's perfectly natural to find bosses attractive. If a boss personally has qualities you like, such as confidence, independence, experience, or something else along those lines, it's only normal to be attracted to that person. Acting on it brings it to a new level. Bosses are people too and they too have feelings. It's normally unprofessional to date your boss, but it does happen. My uncle married his boss. Another friend of mine married his boss. Though, their ages weren't really different, they were attracted to each other. Age doesn't matter if the qualities sought after are present. Just be careful if you choose to express your feelings to a boss lady. If it's taken the wrong way or she does not feel the same way in return, it could make office life difficult and uncomfortable for the both of you....depending on the type of person she is. So, take it slow or let it go.

No, and especially no for me as I have worked for a lot of women! Come to think of it, I've never had a crush on any of my males superiors either.
