Is this a big no-no?

Originally interned in consulting my junior summer but made me realize I wanted to really work in finance. Something my manager understood so I was able to make the jump to a BB. Had a massive crush on her throughout the summer (she was 28, I am 21). The office I interned in was my home city. I matched with her on tinder/hinge/bumble purely coincidentally (home rn for break and have not spoken to her since internship end) and she hit me up asking if I wanted to go grab a drink and catch up in a coming evening. Is it an absolute no-no if I go and flirt with her and see if something is there. We meshed really well in the summer and had a lot of similar interests and whatnot. At the same time, she is older and was my manager. If I was returning to the same firm, I would obviously not pursue something like this but was interested if WSO had any similar stories/advice.

Yeah no, sounds like your typical late night fantasy. No judging tho, Lord knows I lusted after some busty teachers and superiors once or twice. But try to keep that shizzle off WSO, my man.
