Ok, a few weeks ago, I interviewed for a volunteer position within my company and another employee entered the room to tell me about the opportunity since he just finished his year on the project. We maintained strong eye contact throughout but I didn't think anything about our initial meeting. I generally do not date at work, so I dismissed our encounter. I went to another meeting at work for and he showed up. After the meeting he approached me and stated he wanted to talk further about something I said. I turned to talk but then he stated,"not here" somewhere else. I thought that was weird but I left it alone. I started questioning others who he was and it turns out he is a good man but I was worried about the age difference. I didn't hear anything else and so I left it alone. Then two weeks later I was in our companies cafeteria and he approached, I was kind of busy talking to someone else and I guess he felt uneasy and decided to leave. The next day we had a company function to attend and he finally mustered up enough courage to come and speak to me. We had a nice conversation and decided to go to lunch at work, again we enjoyed a nice conversation, meaning we get lost in the conversation and forget we have to get back to work. We have other things planned and such but we haven't spoken a word about our ages, it's like, don't ask, don't tell. We really like each other and enjoy each other's company, he even shows up to places where he'll know where I'll be. I'm guessing he checks my calendar in outlook. Anyways, I look very young and I'm guessing it's throwing him off, I'm also the mother of two boys 5 and 7, which I haven't mentioned. I know he has asked about me and everyone at work knows about my situation because I arrived at the job pregnant.Our ages don't seem to hinder our conversations but I just keep dwelling on the age difference. To top all of this both of us are very shy, him especially but I think it's cute!
