DEAR DEIDRE: A MUCH younger girl at work asked me to take her virginity but I’m worried I’ll get into trouble.
We both work in hospitality.
I’m a receptionist, aged 30, and she’s a 17-year-old chambermaid in her first job after school.
We’ve got to know each other a little over the past six months and I am very attracted to her.
She’s flirty and has made it clear she feels the same.
The other night, we were both working late, when she asked if I wanted to sneak into an empty guest room for sex when everyone else had left.

She told me she’d never been with a boy before, but felt she could trust me.
I said it wasn’t a good idea, especially not at work, but I keep thinking about it.
Would it be legal for me to have sex with her?
Could we be in a relationship together?

DEIDRE SAYS: The age of consent is 16, so this wouldn’t be illegal.
But there is a big age gap here and you will have different levels of emotional maturity, and as an older male you have some responsibility to do the right thing.
In addition, your employer might frown on relationships between staff – especially if you’re more senior.
Think carefully before you jump into bed with her.
My support pack on Age Gaps might be helpful.
