He is about 10 years older than me, but extremely fun and attractive and I sense he finds me attractive too.. if we were to be out and drinking alone, I reckon something would happen, - is this something that I should steer clear of?

 Is it just the 10 year difference that's bothering you? That's not so much, really and the success of a relationship with such a difference entirely depends upon the two people involved. You'll have noticed that people don't really fit into age stereotypes as well as the social engineers would have us think. We all mature in our own time and expand our consciousness and character all our lives because we learn new things all the time - at least one hopes we do. As to the connection to your father, well, this seems to me to be very appropriate! You don't have to worry so much about surprises: dark secrets, hidden aspects of his personality you never suspected, a criminal history or a string of past relationships that ended badly. He's a 'known factor.' Sure it may cause a little tension if you ever have an unpleasant break-up but I think the safety this connection offers you is worth giving it a go.

 Your dad's partner's brother? So if your dad and this partner got married that would make him your step uncle?
That would make for an awkward family reunion if something was to come of you two. Although, you two aren't related and it's perfectly legal..I say do what you feel is right, if you think something positive can come from this situation then go right ahead.
