Ok so I'm 23 years old. I am damn near broke paying for school tuition and ankle surgery following a 'fall and shatter' earlier this year. I live at home with my parents while I go to school since I work part time. My other friends are 23 and live at home in similar situations but most of my coworkers, even those younger have their own places so it is a factor in this.

I have a co-worker, well technically she is a supervisor sometimes. A 'Daily Staffing Manager'. Sometimes she's on the floor working a regular shift, other times, she oversees daily operations. No desk or anything. She is 28 years old and a really fun gal. Big sports fan, energetic, funny, etc... Now for one thing, we all thought she was like 20 until a few months back. She's like 5 feet tall and young looking. She had her birthday a while back and when we asked her the age we were all guessing like 21, 22.

Anyway, I've been working up to asking her out but I would like the response of women specifically if possible.

If you were five years older than a guy and you had your own apartment and were a college graduate would you date a poor 23 year old who lives with his parents while still going to college? For one thing I, boasting aside, know I have more maturity than most guys older than me, just looking at some fellow coworkers as an example.

Personally I don't have a problem dating older but I would hope that somebody could understand that being younger I'm working up from the bottom as hard as I can.
