Is it wrong to like my coworker?

Need genuine, serious advice.

Last week my job had it's annual holiday party and EVERYONE showed up. One of my coworkers who always works remotely showed up and we started catching up. A few drinks later and we've been talking for hours. We have so many common interests and other similarities. This whole week we've been messaging like mile long responses to each other talking about everything under the sun and im really seeing how similar we are.

I have no idea what his thoughts are but I feel like I might have feelings for him. The problem is, he's 14 years older than me (he's 38, I'm 24). Again, I've heard nothing from him about this so these are just my own thoughts and feelings. Part of me is thinking this can't be good because of the age difference and that I'm twisted for even thinking about it but the other part of me is like there are so many similarities and otherwise green flags. If we were closer in age, there would literally be no issues. So I'm very torn.

Obviously I dont really want to act on this since we work fairly close. I'm worried about the next time he's in office though and if any so called "sparks fly."

What are your thoughts? How should I go about this and these feelings? Have you been in similar situation?
