Last week he asked me for my e-mail address (in a friend-type way, nothing romantic or suggestive) and I gave it to him because I didn't see the harm in it. So we've been emailing each other a bit; the thing is - I'm 20 and he's in his late 40s, is it weird for us to be friends? Having said that, I don't consider us "friends", I just talk casually with him, if that makes sense, and I wouldn't really want to keep in touch with him after I stop working there (I'm probably going to leave in a couple of months). Also, if at some point he wanted to meet up outside of work, what are some ways I could decline? I know I might sound immature, but I'd find it kind of weird. I'm not saying he will, but just in case.Thanks.

Not weird. If you have things in common and talk casually there's no harm. If things get weird you can always block his address.If you don't want to meet him outside work just keep saying you're busy with exams/work/family/whatever. He will probably get the message.
