I'M 66 YEARS OLD and I have a friend @ work who is 52 and says that he attracted to me and I him, but the age difference is really bothering me. I look about 50, if that, I feel that he is just after my bod which is in very good shape for my age. This man also works on my job. I have had a standard rule nt 2 sleep where I work, because it causes to many problems. I need lots of + advice.

The age difference should not really be a factor here.You are both mature aged and it's not like you are a couple of teens. You say you are attracted to him also so that is a really good beginning.You think he is after your body which you say is in good shape but have you spoken to him at all? Your body may be the furhtest thing from his mind.He could like your personality,spirit,lightheartedness, any number of things.you really aren't giving him a fair go.You need to talk to him and tell him of your fears ,especially about working together.For all you kow he may have those same fears.

We have been on 2 dates and he is just like a kid with new candy. So I'm seriously thinking of cutting him lose, because of this very thing. Today he came up behind me on the coffee line and he is very childish he had something to say to every woman on the line and he says that he is just trying to make people feel better. This is NY and people really don't give a hoot early in the morning. Well I feel that he just to grow up some.

You are absolutely right. Never, ever sleep around where you earn a living. All it does is cause an unhealthy, unpleasent, and unsafe environment for you and others. It's okay to have friendships on the job but sleeping around w/co-workers is a no-no! Save yourself don't do it. If he can't respect you as a friend then leave him and it alone!

14 years really isn't that much of an age gap, so I'd say go for it, you might regret it if you don't!!

I'm 24 and my boyfriend is 33. To us, the age is just a number. If you've thought about it and think it might work, I would say go for it and make the best of it.. if you think it would cause you too many problems maybe its not the best thing to do right now. Best of luck deciding!
