Worried I've scared off colleague 15 years younger

I'M A 53-year-old single man and I've fallen for one of my colleagues, who's 38. She's also single after a painful split from her husband, who'd been having an affair.

Dear Coleen

Her divorce came through in January, which she told me she was relieved about, but their five-year-old daughter is struggling apparently, so things are still challenging.

In the past we've been out for a drink after work with colleagues, as well as a couple of times on our own. We get on very well and I'm also divorced, so we have that in common.

However, the last time we got talking, I admitted my age and she seemed taken aback. I'm assuming she thought I was younger, as people often tell me I look a lot younger than 53.
