Have you ever been hit on by someone younger than you at work? There's a younger CNA who will not stop hitting on me and flirting with me at work. I'm single and so is he, but I'm old enough to be his mother and this feels like a disaster waiting to happen. Is it totally idiotic to let him take me on a date?

The age difference doesn’t bother me - dating coworkers does. I try to keep my personal and professional lives as separate as possible. Once you get involved with a coworker all that drama (good or bad) is on display to your coworkers AND management. Then you’re being perceived on things that *aren’t * related to your job. And chances are, the relationship will end at some point, which will also be on full display at work. It doesn’t work in your favor. I’d avoid it.
As the old saying goes - Don’t shit where you eat.

You’re both single and as long as he’s not your direct report, what’s the problem? Sounds like a great chance to let him take you to pound town.

Probably not much harm in it.

How big is the age gap? And does he flirt like that with everyone if you notice?

Age is a state of mind don't let that stop you my wife is 30 I am 52 been together 8 years now

You're a woman. You would have to do something really really bad, like heinous crime against humanity in order to be held accountable for anything. So go for it.

Ahh a little bait.

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…
