I'm 33 and I have a huge crush on my 52 year old co-worker. I've never felt about anyone like this. She looks amazing for her age, looks like she's 42, not 52. To me the age difference is not an issue at all but I am afraid that if I tell her I have feelings for her, she will find it strange a much younger guy wants to ask her out and could ruin our work relationship and friendship.
I've always been into older women instead of women close to my age but the co-worker I have a crush on is so special.
Tell her I have had feelings for her for a long time or possibly ruin our friendship and make things awkward at work. This is killing my soul.
Regardless of the age difference, there's always a chance to turn a relationship/friendship into an awkward one by letting them know you're interested.
You have to decide if you are willing to take that chance first.
Or, if the two of you have ordinary conversations about things in general, you could ask her opinion on that type of relationship in a round-about way .

Looking great for her age is one thing, but do not allow yourself to become too starry-eyed over that aspect alone. The possibility of rejection is always there and it always hurts, notwithstanding the ages of the people involved. Since you feel the way you do, have an honest conversation with her. You never know ... she may be flattered beyond belief and be receptive to seeing where a relationship might go.
On a more realistic note, a nineteen year difference in your ages is very significant and you should not convince yourself otherwise. Also, the impact will be felt much more as time goes on. Good luck.

What does age have to do with telling your coworker you like her?...if you want to have a relationship with her, tell her...acting immature, indecisive and waiting for strangers on the Internet to spoon-fed you advice on how to proceed isn't making you look mature enough to talk to a woman of any age right now

Mate I'm sure she would be flattered by the advances of the younger man, there's a well known saying this side of the pond " there's no bigger compliment for a woman than a younger man "...... Well I've been lucky to meet such women in the past .
But I'm sure if anything were to happen it would be a fling at best as I'm sure the age difference would play a part somewhere down the line mate.
the coworker part may be the biggest obstacle, can I ask has she given you and hints they she likes you or is she in a relationship/married/single etc.
I say above that she will be flattered and I'm sure she would be but its not a guarantee by along shot that she would like you back
Leave it be, Unless one of you winds up leaving the job. If it comes to that then say something, Since you would not strain the business relationship and no awkwardness would have to be dealt with.
