It can be a tricky situation. Because if you get involved with him and it goes bad - then what? You're stuck working with him and feeling very uncomfortable. So be real sure that you can handle it.
Good Luck!

I would not recommend dating somebody you work with. Just basic office politics (and it doesn't have to be an "office" to have them) are hard enough to deal with sometimes, let alone trying to bring a romantic relationship into it. I've done it and I don't recommend it. If you try to keep it quiet, it never works. People love to gossip - why give them fodder? If it doesn't work out, you still have to see this man at work unless one of you quits.
The boring, practical answer is that you are at work to work, not to meet potential dates. Trying to have a work relationship can be very distracting and could cost you your job.
The bigger issue I see is that you and the guy are in different places in life. If you are questioning your readiness to settle down, you are not ready. You are still young. There's nothing wrong with having fun dates with people and not being serious (I'm not suggesting that you sleep around, of course!). You need to truly figure out who you are and where you are going before hitching your horse to somebody else's wagon.
And not to be a snob, but think about what this guy is doing for work. I don't know what you do (other than you are at a call center- customer service, I guess?), but if he is late 20's and he wants to settle down, a decent career is a must. Having a family is expensive!
I'm not disparaging anybody who married young, works at a call center, or who has a work relationship, I'm just suggesting caution.

If you're considering dating someone you work with, you might want to think about whether or not your job is very important to you. If you start dating and things go sour, you may find yourself miserable having to run into him at work all the time - or worse!

If your both single and he's not your boss and your not his then take a chance and date him.
