To date a 28yo?

[Cougarintown]

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.

How old are you?

Depends on how big the age gap is??

Missing vital bit of info?

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

If your over 21 and under 55 then go for it

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?

How old are you ? @Cougarintown

For more clicks?

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

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

Let's all guess OP's age. I'll go first.

39

42

Shit, sorry. I'm 42.

95

Omg I got it right! 🤣

Good guess!

No.

Go for it. It's only a date and 28 isn't eww young territory. Just young territory. See how it goes.

Nailed it. Your prize is in the post

That's fine, he's a grown up. Go for it!

I do sort of want to. He's hot and I'm flattered. But I'd be so embarrassed if anyone knew!

I wouldn’t bother, not because of the age gap but because you work together. It’s not worth the potential fall out especially as you don’t want a relationship .

Are you in a senior position at work to him?
Do you think there would be potential fall out if it went tits up?
Can you handle the workplace gossip if it gets out?
Do you have kids near his age?

If none of the above apply then sure why not?

However, if you hate your job and plan to leave anyway then go for it.

What is it only a bit of fun if neither of ye looking for a relationship 🤷🏻‍♀️..
Once it doesn’t make work awkward, only you know that OP , if it doesn’t have fun 🙌 😊
