I’d advise to be brave they say faint heart never won fair lady after all.

I have asked myself a couple of questions prior to asking for a date though,
Firstly, what’s the worst that can happen?
Secondly, where’s the nearest exit?

(I’m assuming you’re young so being nimble on your feet probably isn’t a problem.)

I’d say even at 23 you can still enjoy life.

Having said that I’ve met some pretty serious eight year olds, when I was eight.

Do you think the age difference is a little big then?

I think as others have suggested, if you just politely ask her if she wants coffee with you or something innocent like that it will give her the chance to choose. I wouldn’t pursue it if she declines your invitation though personally. I think that can get frightening for someone even if your intent is innocent.

How serious are you and how serious is she? That 5 years makes a big difference in wanting to settle down. As some others have said, work relationships cause some problems. If you are or could have any authority over her it a complete no, no. Also consider if you want to come to work each day with with an ex.
 
Ok.
I think @PJH_74 makes some good points though.

Catholics may marry Christians in some instances. There was a post with a picture here a while back about it.
 
  1. If her name is Jenny, I have her number - it’s 867-5309 (if this makes sense to you - you are old like me).
  2. Dude - go for it. It’s just a crush and dates are fun. I would go bowling - which happens to be America’s biggest sport.

OP - my apologies - you made me feel young again. Thanks!!! (listen to the song it’s a good one)

Well I am married to a Methodist for 43 years. There have not been difficulties. My wife agreed to raise the children Catholic and she did an excellent job. We have never argued about religion. I go to daily mass my children all practice the faith. My only concern is for her conversion some day.
You have to date people God puts in your life.
 
I often say hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
So what’s the worst that can happen? She could say “no thank you.” If she’s the type of girl to say anything worse then why would you want to date her anyway?

Remember you have a guardian angel with you, always ready to help. You’re not alone.

Remember though that working with someone you also date can be very tricky. Especially if you fall out.

My parents met because they worked at the same place, and they stayed married for more than 50 years.

It can work out fine.
 
That’s really nice. I’ve heard of such things before.

I’m just saying that if two people fall out and they work together it could become very uncomfortable. But yes, you never know, these things can work out very well as with your parents.

That’s wonderful, I’m very glad for you. 🙂
You must be aware, though, that you are the exception, not the rule. Marrying a person who doesn’t share with you something which is so singularly important, your faith, can lead to very difficult situations - and has done so for a great many people.

We’re talking salvation, here. There are many fish in the sea who could be a “perfect” spouse, and I don’t think it much of a leap to suggest that a person would be well advised to consider holding out for a potential spouse who will be able to walk side by side with them towards heaven.
