I was bored today, so I tried to find some of my new coworkers on social media to add them.
There's a guy at work who I've kind of been flirting with, and vice versa. (Kind of, I'm very shy. But he's very sweet). Anyway, I realized that I have absolutely no clue how old he is. So I looked him up.
He's 30. I just turned 23. I knew he was older than me, but I didn't think he was that much older than me. He doesn't look 30. Granted, I also look a lot younger than I am, but still. I'm a little shocked.
I guess I shouldn't be that surprised, as pretty much all of my coworkers are older than me. But the ones that I talk to a lot tend to be on the younger side. My work best friends are 25 and 26. And I guess that his friends tend to be older. But still. I'm surprised. I have never been interested in someone more than a few years older than me before this.
It's fine. As we haven't ever actually dated yet. But I'm a little surprised, and I'm wondering if that should stop me from being interested in him. If we were both older I wouldn't be that freaked out by it, but it kind of caught me off guard. He's still cute. But I'm not sure how to feel.
I just need to figure out how to deal with my family about it. Because they will certainly not approve.
