To date a 28yo?

Last week I went on a night out with some work colleagues. I got a bit tipsy and ended up flirting with one of my colleagues who is 28! We ended up kissing. The next day I just put it down to an embarrassing event and pretended like it never happened.

We were in a meeting together today and later this afternoon he text me and asked if I wanted to go for a drink. I didn't respond and a bit later he messaged me saying he meant like on a date.

I shouldn't should I? He's just so young.

We're both single, I'm not looking for a serious relationship and I suspect he isn't either (he was previously in a very long term relationship with 2 kids).

There's no concern about dating someone I work with, my issue is purely the age gap.

If you’re 29 I’d say it’s ok but if you’re 59, probably not

Well how big is the bloody gap?
If it's more then a 60 year difference I'm voting unreasonable

What is the age gap? How could you forget to mention your age in a thread about an age gap relationship with a 28 year old?

If your over 21 and under 55 then go for it

If you’re under 35 and over 25 I’d say go for it.
