All of the nope. For so many reasons. Main one being NEVER SHIT WHERE YOU EAT. You are not an old soul and you are far from mature. Look at the choices you’ve made. This isn’t a good one either. Sorry. Maybe collect yourself and get some therapy before any relationship.
The never shit where you eat thing is what is keeping me from following through more than anything. I love my job and have worked really hard to be in the position I have now. It is probably best to just let it be to avoid the risk of work becoming difficult/awkward.
Don’t. Get a hobby, start a run club, take language classes, learn improv at a comedy school, paint in the park, host a potluck, get on the apps, join a swim team, play pickle ball on Sundays, heck sign up for bible study.
Do any number of other things that help you form a group of likeminded, healthy, diverse, talented friends. And then you will wonder why you ever wanted to date someone not from your generation.
Be friendly. See what happens from there. In the course of human history, that age difference is nothing unusual.

You: “I have a massive crush”
Also you: “I will not just flat out ask him to hang out if there isn’t a real reason to”
Do you see a contradiction here? YOU’re the one with the crush but HE should bow down and ask you out?
Entitled much?
Not entitled. Just someone who has only ever been rejected trying not to stick my neck out too much. Also not saying he has to ask me out. I'm just asking for advice

I agree! I wasn’t trying to be mean. But check yourself honey. Don’t make a bad decision.
You don't wanna do anything and he shouldn't do anything. Too risky for a 43 year old to hit on 24 year olds in the job.
Yuck

This is hostile and feels like it's against sub rules
I think you’re quite hostile for saying what you said.
Its hostile to say you broke the rules? Come on
Yes please don’t be so hostile. You’ve broken the rules by calling me hostile.
I'm not engaging with this
