I HAVE met this great guy at work.

He’s funny, he’s smart and there’s a great connection between us.

However, a female colleague also feels the same way.

He’s a married man of 47. I’m 20 and my colleague is 27. This colleague and I used to be great friends until we both started going after this guy.

It all began when we were all put on the same department.

We worked hard but had a laugh too.

He’d joke with us and we’d play along.

Now I’m done with playing games. How can I get this other colleague out the way so that I can have him all for myself? JANE SAYS: I’m sure this married, much older man is funny, provocative and smart, but he’s wrong for you on so many levels.

There’s the fact that he’s already married for a start. That immediately puts him out of bounds.

Then there’s your work contract.

Companies these days take a very dim view of office romances because they are distracting and disruptive.

Then there is your age difference – a 27-year age gap. Wouldn’t you be better suited to someone with similar experiences and interests to yourself?

Don’t fall out with your female colleague over this, because the reality is that neither of you have any business getting close to him.

He should be acting professionally and responsibly, while you two should be planning your rise to the top.
