I'm nervous about asking my coworker out. She's 19 and I'm 26. Am I too old for her? I think she's flirting with me. How do I tell? How do I ask her out?

I don't think age is an issue unless you two are completely different stages at your life. Example: If she is living at home, doesn't have a car yet and goes to high school, meanwhile you're living on your own and somewhat established, then this is a problem. With that said, up the flirtation and set up some sort of group hang out. I'm not sure what your job is, but you can all go out to a bar after work one day with her and other co-workers. If she can't get in, then do bowling or pool. Make the effort to primarily talk to her. After you've established this out of work comfort with her, take your time and eventually ask her to do something fun in the future (just the two of you). Just be careful not to be overly apparent to the other co-workers. You don't want gossip to start.

She started flirting with me first. Although I was attracted to her. I didn't want to approach her first because of the age difference. We have health food in common so I plan on showing her this really cool health food store. Ask her if she would like me to show her around - as a friend.

If shes flirting with you go for it.That is if you like this person

I don't think you are too old for her at all (there's only 7 years difference), but I think maybe you should wait a bit until you know for sure that she's flirting with you and not just being friendly, otherwise it could be awkward for you both if you ask her out and she turns you down. Talk to her a bit more first and get to know her a little better. Maybe, you could ask her if she wants to go and get a coffee and a sandwich with you one lunch-time?

Just DO IT! Think about it this way: five years from now, how will you feel thinking back and wondering what could have been. There are no practice lives/ this is the one we get!

I wouldn't be so much worried with the age thing as I would about the working together thing. What's the job's policy on dating relationships in the workplace? But that's not usually as big of a deal as the catty office gossip that goes 'round. I had a flirtatious relationship with a man I worked with a couple of years back. Even though there was nothing going on, the entire office was constantly gabbing about it behind my back. It gets to be trying after a while. The constant comments of, "they're both married! how awful!" followed me everywhere. As for the question of if she's flirting with you, if you have to ask yourself, chances are she is. DO arrange a social event for you and multiple coworkers outside of the workplace; that will get things started nicely. In my opinion, you're not too old for her. I married someone 14 years my senior; 7 years doesn't seem so bad up against that... Good luck! :-)
