Don't take this wrong but I've been the teenager girl hit on by older men. And I'm also have been the young women hit on by older men. And my female friends have been teenagers and young too. We do know what we were thinking at the time. And while the older men might delide themselves thinking that we might be interested, we weren't.

Sure, there might be Leonardos Di Caprio around, but they are the rare exception and not all teenagers or young women are interested in those either.

But what was common is that we weren't taight to be polite and not reject the older men bluntly. Worse, sometimes even with a blunt rejection, those older men keep insisting because they decided to "not take no for an answer" and that "when we said no, we mean yes". So sometimes we needed to make a run or make a scene or even needed the support of friends (what those men called "bat factor").

Men have a lot of narratives to not accept rejections. They tell themselves stories about how that young women who basically have only show basic politeness is really into them even if the women have basically rejected every advance with "no, thanks".

By the way, visiting you at work doesn't necesarile mean that she is interested in you as a potential boyfriend. She might just like you as a friend or mentor. You know, that stories about women who thought that they have a good relationship with an older man at work only for them to hit at them and the men hit on them and then (best case scenario) things becoming awkward? Some men interpret friendship as sexual interest, just saying. With 22 she might not be aware that friendly could be interpreted as "interested".

I mean, I've lost count of how many times my being friendly have been interpreted by men as me being interested when I'm not. When I was 22 I looked for older men at work that were nice and acted as mentors. I saw them as mentors/fatherly figures. There even was one that remind me of my own father. If some of them would have hit on me it would have become awkward. It certainly was uncomfortable after one company dinner when one of the bosses hit on me. Lucky for me, there was other women around and I could excuse myself and basically disappear that night. After that, I make a point to never be alone with that boss ever.

At 22 we are juniors at most works, we are starting and learning. Young men seek advice too, never once I've been considered them interested in me beyond the work advice I can give them. Or maybe the ocasional videogame talk. Let's be realistic, young people seek young people. We could be the "cool aunt" or "cool uncle" in the best scenarios. Most common ones, just someone who is teaching them things. And that is great too.

Anyway, I doubt I would chance many minds by telling our side of things. After all, even when I splicitly tell those older men I wasn't interested they keep insisting because they translated that as me "playing hard to get", so me saying it now it is unlikely to make you look at the other "hints". But my advice is that if she never has asked you to meet outside of work, her interest might be only work related. After all, young women today take the initiative too.
