^ Wow, that's a huge age gap. Your coworker should've known better. It's not going to be your loss that he won't set you up again.  |

Yeah, my college roommate and her boyfriend set me up for date with one of this friends. We are still married (happily) 33 years later.  |

When we were in college, it was quite common to "blind date" and both my dh and I had gone on a few blind dates before each other that DIDN'T "work." In fact, both of us initially said "no" when our friends approached about this one!
I think my blind date record went like this:
I didn't like him and he didn't like me.
I liked him, but he didn't like me.
He liked me, but I didn't like him.
But finally....success! |

I would've thought it was your date's reaction when he found out he was going out with someone younger than his daughter. |

I couldn't tell his reaction, because he was trying to take some kind of blue pill when I walked up...<shrug>....lol  |
