got myself in a right tangle - please help

[moviebuffer]

hi - i could really do with some advice and perspective please.

i have always looked very young for my age (iam 47 years old) and when i started working for a new company a year ago i did tell my age to a couple of people - because i dont look my age though, both people i told assumed i said 37 and now thats how old everyone thinks iam. i must admit, i didnt put anyone right and i feel really bad that i have lied about my age.
another problem though is that i think my manager really likes me and has started to hint that he would like to go out with me - i really like this guy but i am presuming that he also thinks im 37 (hes about 35).
i feel sick at the thought of deceiving all of these people but i really dont want to put people right partly because i am ashamed of lying, partly because i think it would put my 'beau' off me and partly because i am a very private person anyway and i dont really divulge personal information - please advise, i am so worried about this, i feel sick

Do not go out with your manager!

ditto - don't go out with manager

let them think whatever

Wow. I'm really trying my best to stifle the remarks flowing from my mind. Is this really all you have to worry about? If it is, then you should be pleased rather than feeling sick.

Why do you keep posting about this?

I have a solution.

Next time it comes up -

Office Person: 'blah blah well you would think that being 37' (or similar) WHIP your head round and say 'Ffity seven?! FIFTY SEVEN?!! How dare you. I'm FORTY seven, I cans't believe that you would defame me so. Kindly retract your statement, Sir!!' (I'm trying to 'catch your voice OP, what with you using the term BEAU and all).
Office person: 'I'm so sorry, I didn't say 57 I said 37, honest, that's what we all thought you were...'

You: 'Humph, a likely story, do not attempt to wheedle out of this with such blatant flannel' - etc.

Sorted!!

Have you both ended your relationships since you last posted about this?

This is not a big deal. Just go on a couple of dates with him, if he asks you, then if ages come up just be honest. If all is going well, by that point he probably won't care.

Don't go out with your manager.

Especially if one or both of you are not single.

Surely your manager would know exactly how old you are from your personal file?

Are you the same poster? If so, I think the non issue of a small age gap in a non-existent relationship is massively missing the point. Neither of you are single are you?

Hilarious. As if your boss hasn't had access to your HR records! Plus, people who thinks they look 10 years younger than they are normally look a good 15 years older, at least, than their estimation.

Even if they've had surgery.

If I were you, I'd immerse myself in a basic skills literacy course rather than obsessing about your addled perception of your fading never-was.

Just saying....

Fuck me, is anyone being totally straight on here atm?

I've clicked on more obfuscatory threads tonight than I've had hot dinners.

It is a bit odd, isn't it?and pellucid. May be it's Fathers for Justice. The stupidest, most dishonest campaign group sine the short-lived Hedgehog Freedom Association,. Though little known, they endeavoured to win sympathy by hanging off bridges and hi-rises while dressed as the popular video game's character, Sonic. It all went wrong in1982 when cult leader, Knuckles Prickly, was exposed as the brain behind Hedgehog flavoured crisps and it was revealed he didn't contribute at all to his own hedgehog, Brian, who lived with an ex partner of Knuckles and whom he never saw.

Ten-four, Badger. This is 12. Propeller failure and one engine failure.

We're going down.
