Am I (19M) weird for liking a ginger when my dad is also ginger

I really need someone to tell me if I’m a massive weirdo or freak for this or not because I can’t stop thinking about it right now.

I (19M) started talking to this guy (18M) recently for a few months and I think I really like him but he’s ginger and my dad is also ginger, I can’t stop thinking I’m one of those people who are secretly attracted to their dads and I’m freaking out. They don’t look or talk the same at all but they’re both ginger and Irish, although opposite sides of Ireland and only my dad has an accent and when I think about it too much it makes me feel icky. He’s so lovely and apart from that I really like him, none of my friends have mentioned it but my brain has just been attacking me. I don’t wanna mention it to my friends because I’m worried they’ll think I’m super weird. This probably sounds so so stupid but I have super bad anxiety and I’ve always had a deep down fear that I feel attraction to someone I’m related to (OCD) so now this situation has been stressing me out. Can someone please tell me if it’s weird or not??
