Our work place is very laid back and yes I have taken into account the good and bad of it. We work in a small place, there are a few couples that work there as well and I've ran it over in my head if we were to date and things didn't go so well. I am not the type to think with my heart or wear my heart on my sleeve so to speak. I do however strongly believe that if we were to go down that road and figured that we would be better as friends instead that we would be able to do that or at least be civil about it. I am older than he is and he's one of those types of people that is def a child at heart, you can tell. I've kept that into consideration as well.

As I was asked about earlier as far as the court incident, I don't want to air out his dirty laundry but I can say that I know the whole situation and I don't judge him about it. It was about an ex and her family that stalked and harrassed him and I know he was damaged by the whole situation so I can understand why he may be more leary now. He's told me as a friend that because of that whole incident that it's hard for him to trust.

I do know the policies at my job as far as dating, I've looked into a lot 'just incase' we come to that.

I am grateful to see others responding to my post. It always helps to see how others see the same situation and to get different points of views. Thank you all for taking the time to read and respond.
