It's all good, women love to rationalize and when they see their actions spelled out in a logical way, they baulk.
This is certainly true of men as well.
People are generally quite bad at thinking logically

Anyways, the reason I brought it up is because it's a weird situation. He is older and she KNOWS he likes her. She isn't curious as to where his interest is, she knows. I'm just saying, be insightful when the OP asks her out and and try and sniff out where her intentions are.
Pretty sure the OP said that she was older.
And both of them should be old enough to be past the "I know he/she likes me" stage.

Whoops, missed that. She's been in the game then, she knows how to play her cards. If she's 43 and still looking fine, he's got a shark on his hands.
Let's be honest, relationships and courting aren't as cut and dry as you're trying to make it out to be. She knows she's got the power here. She knows he likes her. If she isn't that interested, she can still parlay it into whatever she wants if the OP doesn't see it coming. That's my point.
I have experience in dating a co-worker at my last job and it turned out to be a complete nightmare so I'm thinking I should learn from my mistakes and let this go since this is a great job.
well, I was doing an art project for a London tradeshow with this high profile local artist. He is very famous in the industry and he has dated couple of D list actresses. So go figure.
He is 45 years old, I am in my late 20s. I was not interested in him because he was not my type physically. He asked his assistance to book a dinner date for us without asking my permission. His excuse, "I like to talk about business during dinner."
I politely turned him down because I was just not attracted to him. He kicked me out of the project, I lost my dream job. Luckily I found another project very soon!
Work is work, if this job is your dream job, don't risk it, not worth it. If things don't work out between you and this 43 year old, your life would be miserable in that company. (Not like I have anything against older women)

She doesn't have any power over me. I'm physically attracted to this women, not emotionally. Definitely not looking for anything serious with her either. Just looking for some fun and female companionship. I don't mind taking her out to eat and paying for a few meals, I'm traditional. I just wouldn't won't her to get the wrong idea and think I'm looking for something serious.
I don't know. I'm a dumbass for even thinking about doing this. Although, I bet she would be fun.

My experience with older women is that they don't really play games. If she wants to get down with you, you'll know it right away. Go for it, who cares.

I'd think about job first. Make sure she is not the gossiping kind, those are the worst. Those who kiss and tell.
My problem with dating a coworker isn't being able to handle things professionally or be polite if things don't work out. My problem is, if things don't work out and you still have feelings for her, it can be hell trying to move on if you have to see her around the office. I've been going through this for the past few weeks and it really draws out the healing process.
But heres the thing. She's 43 and I'm 27. Honestly, it's been quite a while since I've dated anyone so I don't want anything serious. Just someone to hang out with and have a little fun. I really wouldn't think she would see me as serious material anyway.

I'm generally with you on not dating those who you work with, but having fun and non-commitment good times is different type opportunity. I'd explore till you have a better idea as to expectations and ground rules. Who know, could turn to be a FWB situation, especially since she is going to assume "you're too young for her" but wouldn't mind do the cougar thing till the next serious LTR potential shows up.
