I'm 28 and my 49 year old co-worker has a crush on me, should I ask her out?

[Anonymous]

I learned that she has a crush on me despite me being much younger than her, we've worked together for over a year.

You're making it sound like you're jus sitting there (M28) minding your own business when someone YOUR MOM'S AGE is sweating you... and you're contemplating what... doing her a favor?

Get over yourself, kid.

[Asker]

Not even my mom's age, don't be condescending.

If you care about your job, and you getting well paid then i suggest you "keep it in your pants", but if you really don't like it there and you getting pressure from all around then... Fuck it! Go for it! Also be careful at "term & conditions" as all this "play" can backfire on You in form of a "sexual harrassment" as the "law" takes women side Faster than yours", make sure that all this "crush play" is NOT A TRAP! 🤔

Sure, but make sure she's single first... you're both adults, so enjoy yourselves.

Hmm, be very careful. Workplace romances can become very awkward. There’s also a saying that goes “don’t shit where you eat.” In other words, don’t date a coworker. Plus, do a quick check of your employee handbook to see what it say about workplace romances. I’m not saying not to do it. Just really think about this before you do anything.

How do you know this? You could ask her to dinner but be careful dating colleagues. Suppose you get together, then it ends. Could you still work together?

[Asker]

Her best friend told me. I believe we could still work together.

[slatyb]

Ok. Are you interested in a long-term relationship with her? A medium term relationship? She could find you attractive but still not be interested in a relationship.

[Asker]

Long term.
"She could find you attractive but still not be interested in a relationship."
That's not what I got from it.

[fonduegirl]

If you like her, go for it. Life's too short

No, beside Asian
