    Hi

    there is a girl in work that i know really likes me (all the girls have said so on the hush hush, signals i get etc)
    but im confused as im not sure I 100% like her or not, she kinda has asked me out to group dinners / movies etc but i've made excuses like have plans etc..
    She is slightly older than me (couple yrs), but feel that she may want to settle down pretty quick (body clock and all that) and that working together quite close could pose probs down the line esp if it ends bad.
    i suppose my fears are
    1- i've never really been with an older woman, it just doesnt appeal - am i just being too picky??
    2- working quite close - again it can be problematic, i would like to keep work and love life seperate, could be

    She is nice and everything and we get on well, but it just doesnt click if you know what i mean. Im happy being single although do miss some aspects of a girlfriend etc

    anyone got any thoughts??

    If it doesn't "click" for you, as you say, then move on. A couple of years is really not important if you fancy each other.

    Yes- I dont understand your problem. You either like her or you dont. Make up your mind. It really is THAT easy (TM)

    if you liked her you'd be sure, honestly you really shouldn't have to think about whether you like someone or not! as was already said you either do or you dont!'

    If you are not sure, dont ask her out.

    She is only a couple of years older than you... thats nothing! By the way..juts how old IS she if you think her bio clock is ticking?

    I have had relationships with work colleagues.... personally i like to keep them separate, though a lot of people go for them.

    That answers your question

    Ifd you dnt click, and you dont like realtionships with those you work with then there is no point pursuing it.
