I have a crush on my coworker who is in her mid 30s (about 7 years older than me). I’ve worked with her remotely for about a year. I haven’t spent a ton of time with her in person, but have had lunch and dinner with her one on one which went well while we traveled for work.
Anyways, I’ve been texting her more recently to vent about work (we’ve both been working 60 hour weeks because it’s been so crazy). Through our texts I’ve been learning more about her personally. We have a lot of similarities in terms of our life experiences and interests. She also recently told me that she broke up with her boyfriend.
I’m currently looking for other jobs since i feel so overworked and like I’ve hit a wall with my current job. I like this girl and would like to get closer to her, but I also want to respect the fact that we still work together and that she just got over a breakup and needs her space.
I feel very foolish even considering this, but it’s rare that I feel even somewhat willing to try to put myself out there for someone who could be a good match.

What Girls Said
Dating and fornicating with a co-worker is never a good idea. There are way too many problems that can arise from dating a co-worker and there are no positive things about it.
What you will achieve by dating her is that the work environment will even get worse and this will create jealousies. It is very difficult to hide that kind of liaison and relation from your co-workers.
Depending on each one's position within the company, things may get nasty because if the one is in a higher hierarchical position, this may cause others to fear (with reason) that there will be favoritism and preferred treatment. The boss can no longer be unbiased and will tend to favor the person he/she is dating.
Once you leave the company, there is nothing that prevents you from dating her except perhaps the age gap.
Dating a co-worker is never a good idea. Leave her alone.
Yeah. Perhaps later in life when we no longer work together and life isn’t so hectic, then I could try. But now would be horrible timing and I would look like a douche too
If you are sure you are leaving give it a shot. You might always regret it otherwise.
