Find a Conversation

I have fallen for a guy who works in the office with me. His work is not directly involved with mine (in fact he works for a different company in the same building). Our offices are a double storey house and he works downstairs whilst I am upstairs. We don’t have any need to interact at all.
I was invited to a party on Friday night and my friend couldn’t make it, so I asked him as a back up plan. He agreed to go with me. He ended up staying the night, as we were both exhausted and a bit drunk. Nothing happened and he left the next morning.
He asked me to a movie on Sat night, but I was busy. Then he called on Sunday and invited me for drinks, but I was at my sister’s house. Anyways, he came over later in the evening and we chatted and had a couple of drinks. Still, nothing has happened physically, but I am definitely falling for him. We have the best conversations and I can really be myself around him. And he is obviously interested ‘cause he asked me out twice on the weekend.
The 2 problems are 1) he works with me and 2) he’s 25, I’m 31. Has anyone been in an office relationship that has actually worked out in the end? I’m not sure how to act around him and how much to talk to him during the day, when I’m dying just to spend every hour with him….

If you are happy with this guy than take it further. if he doens't mind the age gap and neither do you, don't worry about it.
I am assuming that you don't have children and maybe want to. If that is the case you might want to find out if that is in his cards too. If you are after a serious relationship of course. You certainly don't want to date for a couple of years and than find out he doesn't want what you want.
good luck and hope it works out for you.
