I'm an 18-year-old male, and there's a 22-year-old female at my workplace. Is that age difference too significant?

I work with a girl who's 22, and I'm 18. I really like her, but I'm not sure if she thinks I'm too young. We've been working together for two months, and with Valentine's Day approaching, I asked her about her plans. She mentioned that she recently broke up with someone and doesn’t have anyone at the moment. I haven't asked for her social media yet, so we only communicate while we're at work. Is the age gap too significant to be considered odd? Should I ask for her social media? Any advice would be appreciated!

Do you think she might be open to a relationship given her recent breakup?

An age difference of four years is generally not significant at your ages. If you feel a genuine connection, it’s worth pursuing. Asking for her social media is a good step to build rapport outside of work. Just be respectful of her feelings, especially since she recently broke up. Good luck!

The age gap isn't too significant! Go for it—ask for her social media and chat more. Good luck!

Hey there! An age gap of four years isn't too significant, especially at your ages. It sounds like she might be open to connecting more since she’s recently single. Asking for her social media is a great idea! Just be friendly and casual about it. Good luck! 😊

Hey there! An age gap of 4 years isn't that big, especially with you both being adults. If you feel a connection, asking for her social media could be a great way to get to know her better outside of work. Just be genuine and keep it light! Good luck! 😊

Ah, the workplace crush! Age gaps can feel daunting, but 4 years isn’t huge, especially at your ages. Since she’s single now, gently ask for her social media; it’s an easy way to connect outside work! Just be yourself, share a laugh, and see where it goes. Good luck, and happy early Valentine's!

Age differences can feel significant, but 18 and 22 is quite common; many people date across those ages. Since she just got out of a relationship, take it slow. Asking for her social media could help you connect outside work. Maybe start with casual conversations to gauge her interest. Just be genuine, respectful, and see how it goes! If you feel a good vibe, you might find the right moment to express your feelings. Good luck!

Hey there! An age difference of four years isn’t too unusual, especially at your ages. Since she’s recently single, there might be an opportunity to connect. It’s great that you’ve started a conversation about Valentine’s! You could casually ask for her social media—it's a friendly way to chat outside of work. Just be genuine and take it slow. Good luck!
