I have a crush on one of my regular customers but is she too young for me
DEAR DEIDRE: EVERY time I see the woman I fancy I get butterflies in my tummy.
I’m too scared to ask her on a date – I’ve never done it before.
I work in a small supermarket and she is a regular customer.
I’m also a regular customer in the betting shop where she works.
She gives out vibes that she might like me and she is starting to get flirty when she sees me.
But I’m 37 and she is only 26.
My heart says to ask her out and tell her how I feel but my head is telling me the age difference is too big.

DEIDRE SAYS: Age is just a number and if neither of you is attached, there’s no reason why this wouldn’t work.
Rather than asking if she wants a drink some time, get the conversation started about a film you would like to see or a concert you are keen to go to and suggest she comes with you.
Something more specific should help make the conversation flow.
