Yeah that age range is going to get you some flack from some folks here. There are already a couple threads floating around about older gents/younger women. Some folks find that extremely gross for some reason!
It sounds like romance is the furthest thing on his mind. I have certain coworkers that I like more than others and prefer to "hang" with but that doesn't mean I want a romantic relationship at all. If I were you, I wouldn't push the issue. I just don't see anything romantic about your situation.
I have a crush on somebody at work. The guy is much older than me.We both work in the same office but we don't work in the same department. We know each other but our conversation at work is limited to work related stuff only. Recently, I have noticed that whenever I am in a meeting with someone in the office cafeteria, this guy always comes and sits next to me. This cannot be a coincidence since this is happening every day nowadays. We keep exchanging glances but have never said anything to each other about this. There was this one time, when I asked him to lunch and he said he already had a prior commitment and suggested meeting on a different day during regular work hours (but not for lunch). I am not sure why he keeps following me and staring at me whenever I am meeting with someone else. A good friend of mine noticed it and commented - 'you guys always sit next to each other in meetings,huh'. What can I conclude from this behavior. Should I ask him out again?
I used to go along with the thought that you shouldn't date out of the job pool.
But these days I don't believe that anymore - that is unless you or the other is a person with little or no self control. If both of you do know how to control and handle yourselves, and the chances of seeing each other EVERY DAY after it goes bad is something BOTH of you can handle, then I say go for it.
After all, this is probably the best opportunity to meet someone in you "class" with whom you probably already have things in common. If you are cautious, you can learn a lot about the other person's habits, the kind of people they associate with, general reputation and style before you get involved. This is a huge advantage over meeting someone on the street - or at whatever pickup joints still exist. Where else really are you going to meet someone anymore?
