Always had an attraction for a friend, but he's attached. Now his adult son seems interested. Dangerous territory?

A female , anonymous writes:

I've known this man since we were 12ish. He is 40, I am 34, always had a hot spot for each other. We have now begun working together in the office. Things got heated, although he is not single, and nothing has happened between us.

Just recently his son of 21 has asked me for a drink etc, he is also very very nice. And although the age is concerning, I feel guilty about the father, and know that a date/relationship with the son would be wrong, although I am tempted, but I feel it may jeorpadise my job, let alone my reputation. What would you do?

mommyofthree agony auntThe age difference is not that bad, he is of legal age, it is more the relationship with your co-worker/friend I would worry about. If your friend is in a position to fire you or make things hard on you at work, I would definitely stay away from the son,unless you get the OK from your friend first. If you feel close enough you could always ask your friend how he would feel about you dating his adult son, but you have to figure out if your friendship could even handl you bringing that topic up. Good luck.

eyeswideopen agony auntI wouldn't have anything more to do with this family if I were you (other than just friends). Just nip it in the bud with the son, it may or may not jeopardize your job and it might make you uncomfortable at work. And cool it with POPS if he isn't single, you'll end up hurt as well.
