Thats fine.Second time was sincere and brief short.Third time he saw me i was wearing a dress he was staring . When i was walking he was walking next to me. Very relaxing guy talking etc about nothing important. On our journey back in his car for 20 minutes all he did was talk about his wife, kids and himself. Tried to ask me questions but really all i did was listen. Mentioned his wife has certain sat nav voice and his kids ages what they do.But through out the third meeting purely eye contact and stares and vice versa. I do find him attractive, not saying i would make a move but being honest. But why talk to me about his family when he hasn't to others. There is a 30 year age gap! Reply to this Question

Because he was talking about it because that's what people do. You don't know what he talks to other people about. Stop overanalyzing and trying to "decode" what he meant by talking about his family. Who cares?

 because he's PICKED UP on the fact that you find him attractive and he's making it CLEAR he's not available for anything other than work.
Men and women can be friends and co-workers have a slightly odder situation as you are friends without your partners being around....

 Maybe you remind him of his daughters? He has fatherly feelings for you?
Men can become foolish in the presence of pretty girls.
Why do you need to know if you aren't planning to make a move on a married man who is more than twice your age? If it's that you want your ego fed, yes, I'm certain you are a lovely girl who has rendered this man slightly dumbstruck. If you need to know so you can report him to Human Resources, well, write down everything he says and if he touches you inappropriately again. If you are practicing flirting, eye contact and staring are certainly part of that, but generally, that kind of thing ends badly for the woman in a company, especially if she is the junior colleague. The older men tend to be smart enough to keep their jobs, when they fire the cute young thing who suddenly has become a career liability.
Flirt with men outside work, it's just so much tidier.
