Older girl @ work

[superchristx]

There is a new girl at my job, she is 26 and I'm 21 but she doesnt yet know how old I am. I know I can pass for 25, but I decided I'd rather dodge the question rather than lie. If she asks, I'll say something like 'Im not quite as old as you, but I wont hold it against you."

anyway, I got her number last week but I came down with a nasty virus and have been bedridden since, so I didnt call her cuz I couldnt take her out immediately. If she asks why I havent called, I think I"ll say something c/f like 'I hope you havent been losing a lot of sleep over it." If I feel okay by Saturday I'll take her out for drinks.

So the question: how much of an obstacle is my age? Do you think dodging the age question is a good idea, or would it come off as some stupid game?

LOL...see if you can catch her on the way out of work...ask her if she wants to go grab a drink. Just in a casual way.

That's if you're worried about age.

26 to 21...it isn't really THAT big a deal.

You can both get into a bar, you're fine.

You should never really look at age as an issue. Your focal point should be on the girl and how to have a good time with her. I dated a 23 year old when I was 19 and I asked her why she liked me when she could get so many people her age. She said "becasue you're a good looking guy, who's really nice to me and I enjoy spending time with you." Having all those bases covered will make then think less of your age and more of you the person they're with.
