Search Results: dating an older girl

At my work, Walmart, there's this girl I have noticed that is interested in me. Her mom shops there occasionally and told me the a couple weeks ago that her daughter liked me. Me thinking that her mom is just trying to help her daughter find a boyfriend didn't read into it too much but this is how i noticed her behavior towards me as i am like a rock and dense when it come to people flirting with me (unless it's super blatant).

I transfered to this store to be a department manager and she is an associate. Far as i know it not against policy to date employees so long as you are not their supervisor and I work in the fresh food area and she is a gm associate. She is a well known associate and I am a keep to himself and work type. I'm unsure if I should act on her feelings as there's a few barriers I have and seek input.

The biggest barrier: it does go against my personal beliefs to date co-workers. Even though we work on different sides of the store if things where to work out bad I don't want it to cause trouble among my other co-workers as I mentioned above she is well known and talks to the other associates more than I do.

I have talked with her on fb messenger a little bit and from the conversations we've had I do feel we would get along but tbh I have never really been in a relationship and am naturally socially awkward when talking to people.

Ultimately I feel that because of my lack of experience and possible troubled relations with coworkers that i should not pursue this and tell her this. At the same time I'm in my 30's and am aware that my "dating pool" is getting smaller and smaller the older i get. I'm tired of being single and not having very good luck with finding someone. Am i looking too much into this or are my thoughts in the right direction?

I'm interested to know how you would feel about this? Especially as it might give me an idea as what my parents might think if I was in a relationship with a MILF in the future. Im 17 and both attracted to girls a similar age and ones older, I'm interested to know what peoples reaction would be if a family member (or even friend) was in a relationship with a MILF or DILF.
