Oh, by the way, I was wondering whether she is the only 'Asian' and if this matters...or is this why the others are so nosey. Is you work place dominated by mainly 'white' or 'black' people? Forgive me for asking this so bluntly, but I just wondered if you are from a monocultural background and if this has anything to do with it.

If you are single and available and not a married man, then I must say go out with her, ask her on a date. Don't worry about others, they will get used to the idea. 40 is a nice age... she will like you.

It's really not that difficult to acquaint youself with anyone if you both are working together in the same department or on a same project. But its a little tricky if you are her boss or vice versa then there is a distance in itself anyway. If that is the case then it is much easier to know her at lunch hours...if you have same canteen or chatting with her at work parties.I have to say it will be a gradual slow process if any one of you is in a senior position. I would get really intimidated if my boss starts chatting up with me all of a sudden and he is not even in my department....i guess its because I am a shy asian girl myself.Well all the best.

 I too say be friendly with her, build a sort of common base together. Then take it from there. And forget about other people... at the end of the day when you go to bed at night you have only yourself to anwer to and not other people.. don't waste time worrying about other people.

 The best way to reaquaint yourself is just to be friendly back to her. Forget what other co-workers think, it's none of their business. Just make sure that she isn't married (or you aren't for that matter) or you'll have the workers gossiping about you and that could lead to more trouble than it's worth.
