Is this kind of weird? Let's say the woman is 60 the guy is thirty odd. They are friends in a work environment and then she fancies him and wants to go on a date with him? Just to clarify I work in this environment it is not me but has happened to someone else and I think it is kind of inappropriate. Also the guy rejects her but she still wants to meet up with him as friends.

I find it interesting you’re rounding up her age and being vague about his. Do you dislike older women? It’s very common for men in their 50s to find women in their 30s attractive, and to act on it. You must spend a lot of time annoyed about that, as it’s vastly more common than older women acting on their attraction to younger men.

The only things making this unacceptable are if the older person is more senior at work, or if their approach has been rejected and they’ve continued to try and ask the other person out.

So she isn't 60. She's in her 50s and he is in his 30s. It's not that weird. Unusual but not like a 60 something constantly harassing an 18 year old. Why do you work in hyperbole where you make her to seems much older than she is and use an example to make him much younger? That you feel the need to expand the age difference makes it clear you are wanting to manipulated readers to agree with you.
The man is a grown up. He's in his 30s. She asked him out. Since when has that been a crime? You need it butt out and perhaps also investigate what your true motivations are as you are WAY too overinvested to be just 'concerned' for as grown man's well-being.
