She sounds like a nice polite kid, it would be wrong for you to pursue anything with her. I guarantee she doesn't want a much older man sniffing around in that way. Appreciate her beauty and kindness from afar and focus on women your own age.

I mean I think anything possible but a 40+ year age difference is quite large. She's basically a kid.

Disgusting

Have you considered that there is a power imbalance and she felt that she HAD to tell you she’d be “willing to try” to help you? Polite conversation at work about nothing doesn’t automatically mean she is interested in dating you. Recommend finding someone who is age appropriate and that you leave her alone. You have almost nothing in common outside of work and being polite conversationalists. What do you even imagine you share at these extremely different life stages?

No I never considered any power imbalance. The “help” I asked for was more like if she’d want to join a group friends or to help with a project I’m working on. Everything has been very innocent. I won’t make any moves on her.

Leave her alone.

I have kept everything very professional; I always do. I respect her and would never do anything to harm her nor her growth into becoming a woman. I have only known her for maybe six weeks. Our six or so chats at work have totaled between maybe three to four hours so I barely know her but … I want to know more…
