Should I pursue this?

Been flirting with a man I work with from time to time. The place I work is changing at the end of the year and our paths are unlikely to cross again.
He's 52 and separated from wife number 2 and has 3 kids (two young teens) and a grown up.
I'm 47, single and child free by choice but am a doting auntie to two boys so not anti children, just something I've ever sought for myself.
There's definitely a connection between us but obviously the work thing makes it a little awkward but that will cease to be a problem soon.

Should I hold back and just see how things progress or make some sort of move? We aren't employed by the same organisation, he's a medic and I'm admin (not NHS).
If nothing else it gives me a reason to get dolled up and makes the day go quicker.

I think if you’re no longer going to be working together soon, you have nothing to lose by asking if he wants to get a drink sometime?

Just ask him out for a drink. Life's too short.

Yes go for it. Sounds promising. What's stopping you?

If you like him and are open to dating a man with kids then go for it!

I asked him for a drink and he said he wasn't in the right place just now so soon after his divorce, he needs time to recover. Still wants to keep in touch though.

Shouldn't be bloody flirting then and encouraging women just for the sake of his ego!
