    Hi guy's,

    Now usually my answer to this when giving out advise would be to go for it but this is a little backwards I guess. I'm not the type to generally get crushes on people, or go out on one night stands I more have to get to know someone and being out of a long term a few months I was straying away, enjoying myself and I still am. Recently i've been chatting to a girl I work with and was a bit surprized by how well we got on, she's funny, really easy going , incredibly sexy and it amazes me how she isn't taken, we were just friends for a while until it dawned on me that i can't get her out of my head hence I was dieing to ask her out. Now here's the problem she's 6 years older than I am me being 21 and her 27 so it put me off, i don't see age as a big deal but I was thinking she would be in a totally differant place to where I am so I gave up on the idea.

    Even though I try I can't seem to stop thinking about her , mentally I don't see the age gap as huge I have a decent job , my own house , car etc and so does she , i know guy's who are 30 and have none of this. We were at a work night out recently and we were talking most of the night, laughing i'm usually oblivious to flirting but i think she was doing that to she kept tickling me...so i'm on boards asking you guy's for advice if I ask her and she laughs at me i'll be too embarrased to work with her everyday, if i don't I'll keep wondering about it...opinions?

    I think you should forget about her. The age difference is quite large, you work together, and it's possible you're misinterpreting her signals.

    If you don't want to take my advice, then at least continue being patient and see what happens. You could try to position the two of you in as many alcohol induced situations as possible - nothing gets two people together quicker than a couple of beers. :)

    cant say i agree about the age difference. seems a non issue. Hell, go for it. Slowly. After all, you work together.

    You always think about her because you see her everyday.

    If at 21 you have your own house, car etc then i assume you are starting your career and not working some dead end job. Are you willing to compromise this should you start dating a co worker?

    Ask her out. You sound like a mature 21 year old and from what you're saying you two get on very well. So take a chance or alternatively build a good friendship with her and see how it develops
