The Older Woman

24th June 2001, 1:06 AM

Hello all,

My nickname is CI. Im in a predicament, and was wondering if anyone out there could share some advice! Im a 19yr old jr marketing rep for a fortune 500 company. The majority of the people I work w/ are significantly older! Here's the problem. I work w/a friend of the family who is twice my age. We are truly good friends, although we flirt tremendously. As of late, we seem to be seeing more and more of each other away from work. We joke about hooking up all the time and I know that even though we're joking I still sense this energy between us. Other friends have also noticed this energy. I realize what Im feeling towards her is purely, juvenial infatuation, but I can say w/all honesty that we share common goals and interests. She is recently divorced and Im confident its playing a role in the grand scheme of things. She is steadily becoming one of my best friends. If you knew her, the way she behaves, and looks you wouldn't believe she's a day over 30! My question is Should I make a move. I understand the many, many consequences. I also understand that because of the age difference it is unrealistic to expect an actuall relationship, but she is more than a sexual conquest! What should I do. If we sent any more signals to each other we'd be working for the phone company! If the age wasn't there you'd swear we're the perfect couple!
