Please don't stand so close to me...?

I have a younger co-worker who seems to be attracted to me. I am much older than she. It's kind of like the teacher in that Police song.

Could a 21 year old really like a married 30-something guy? I don't know if I should feel uncomfortable or flattered.

    Well, she sees you as someone who has higher status than herself. Most women go for men who are a little older than they are, and it comes from women wanting men who are achievers (you might have superior genetic characteristics).

    It may seem like a large amount of time, but I used to know a guy who was 12 years older than his wife. Once you're both adults, it doesn't matter.

    And she either doesn't care that you're married, or it only makes her MORE interested. Think about it, you have options. That is the polar opposite of the needy, desperate guy who's begging for approval with everything he says and does.

    You should feel flattered. Why wouldn't you? She likes you, she's not stalking you (I hope).

    Come to think of it, if you mentioned that you've got an admirer to your wife, she might want to hold onto you extra tight. Tell her, "Eh, she's a pretty girl, probably make a great wife if you ever leave." I suspect there'll be less likelihood of her leaving, if she knows you have options.

    If you tease both women enough, you may even get to have a threesome with them.

    You lucky dog.

    Be flattered but uncomfortable. You love your wife and making sure that the word 'wife' is in each and every sentence when speaking with this young lady will help her get the picture that you are happily married and not interested.

    This should work...........

    Be flattered but don't encourage her. Being a married 30-something guy makes you off limits to her. If she steps in to close either step back or ask her to step back so no one gets the wrong idea. You don't want anything getting back to your wife even if it is false it will hurt her.

    Feel uncomfortable...you're a married man. Keep your wife close not your coworker.
