First of all I'm 32, he's 30, I'm hoping he won't be one of those 'too young to commit ' men..what do people think of this age gap? It's ridiculous even calling it a gap tbh but people mainly seem to date men a bit older or their age.
Currently on the same team at work, hybrid remote so I only see him once a week, occasionally twice at most, sometimes none. I'm moving onto a different team next month anyway so that solves that.
I haven't been single that long and I'm still hurting, so I'm not intending to do the above right away, I was thinking to give it another month, however I think that moving on will be good for me. I've had 5 years single prior to my last relationship and I'm not looking to be single again.
We use Skype instant messaging at work. Really not sure what the best way is to approach all this, whether to ask him on there or face to face ? (it would have to be during a lunch break)
My manager's wife works in the same office, and one or two colleagues are dating fellow co-workers. I've read the policies around it and it's generally not an issue unless on different pay grades, i.e imbalance of power.
I'm simply planning to ask if he wants to have a coffee after work one day, or one lunchtime, keep it light and see how he reacts.
Grateful for any advice. If he doesn't want to, I'll just be cheery about it and lick my wounds in private.
I thought that asking him via messaging might look creepy, but asking face to face puts him on the spot, not sure what to do!
