Been rewatching Gary's 2019 story arc on YouTube recently.

It's fascinating to watch his transformation into a ruthless gangster over the course of 2019, and an underrated storyline.

Hello.

Recently I have started getting to know a new girl at work. For the purposes of this post, I will refer to her by her initials, which are CB. She is intelligent, stunningly beautiful and caring, and is single. The only problem is, I (M) am 37 and she is 24 (F), and I feel that the difference is something that could be a barrier.

For the first four months after CB started at my office, we barely spoke. Apart from the basic "hello, are you OK?" "Yes, and you?" "Good." We barely had a conversation.

But last month, I was asked by a manager to sit with her for a few days and work alongside her on some call listening. I have to say, it was some of the most enjoyable working days I have had in years. CB really opened up, and I learnt about her family, how she has a psychology degree, and what she likes doing at the weekend. She even told me where she lived, and that she lives alone and isn't seeing anyone. I never asked her any questions like that. CB herself dropped these details into the conversation.

She told me her sister wants to match her with someone but she wasn’t interested. She has a circle of friends (3 male, 2 female) that she went to university with and spends her weekends with them and with her family.

Ever since the time I spent with her, we speak much more freely and easily, and we now have a bit of banter going, and I genuinely look forward to seeing her. I really admire her dress sense, which is very individual to her, and a bit alternative. She also doesn't wear make up. She is naturally very pretty.

A friend who knows us both has said to me how me and CB seem to get along well, and how she's a good match for me.

I work for a large company, and many of my colleagues are dating, in relationships, married to each other, had children with each other or been in relationships with each other and have divorced or split up, so my employer is quite relaxed with relationships between staff.

The thing that is holding me back though, is the 13 year age difference between us.

Does it make sense if I say that I wish I had met someone like CB when I was in my 20s? Ten years ago most of the girls I knew were in relationships or were single mums.

I would appreciate any genuine, thoughtful advice on whether I should continue to get to know her more?
