This guy (without a girlfriend) asked me out for a movie even though we dont work at the same place anymore. Is it possible that he just wants to be friends? He is 10 years older than me btw. Thanks everyone!

In my opinion, when a male asks a female out that is how dates normally go. If a person is on a buddy, buddy, level and decides that he/she would like to move it to a different degree then that needs to be communicated. So, my answer is that yes, a guy without a girlfriend has asked you out and plans to take you to the movie. How things go will depend a lot on how well you both are compatible and you will discover if you feel uncomfortable being with someone 10 years your senior or not and he will find out if you are to kiddie for him.
Hope you have fun.

Normally not i would think unless he's gay and wants a friendship. Normally if a guy ask you out it isn't to hang out and bake cookies.
I'm sure if he wanted friends he has plenty. thats not what i think this man is looking for.
However i don't know your past together. It is possible if you had a buddy relationship before you will have to think back if there were any times he seemed to act different towards you than a friend.
Perhaps you were close and could talk about all subjects and he doesn't get that with his buddy's maybe he wants your imput and its purely platonic. But im stretching this lol
I go with my first instinct. lol
anyways put this to rest and go to the movies with him. And if it seems to you he's actually likeing you more than a friend would then you will have to send out hints so he will get the message before he goes to far and so he won't feel embarrased or feel shot down.
and what ever you do don't lead him on or let him think theres hope with you if your not feeling that way.

That is how all relationships should start out. I would hope that he has only honorable intentions. I have guy friends that I spend time with as just friends. I have been a widow for many years and have chosen not to date, because I have three teenagers at home. They keep me busy enough. There are some guys who just enjoy company with the opposite sex without any strings attached. Pray about it and talk to someone who knows him first.

mmmmmm-no usually a guy doesn't ask a girl to the movies unless he has intentions. Not saying that guys don't have girl friends and just friends, but usally, if they like hanging out with a girl, they want more. At least thats the experience I've had. My husband was my best friend for years, and guess what, he wanted more the entire time we were friends...and I gave in.

I dunno....isn't dating supposed to really be the process of elimination? I mean, aren't you sampling different types of people to eliminate those with whom you can't see spending the rest of your life living with.
In which case...why date anyone who you wouldn't consider possible marriage potential?
THAT being said...yes, it's possible he's just seeking a movie-buddy. A new friend. I would watch it if he's 10 years older....could be some issues there. Hard to say without knowing how old you are.

Sometimes, I just want someone to see a movie with or I just feel like it's healthy to go out and spend time 1-on-1 with a girl and i'm willing to do it with girls who aren't exactly right for me if the right girl hasn't come along yet. I try my best not to lead them on though.

I think he's probably interested. If he just wanted to see the movie, he'd have gone by himself or asked a buddy. And if he didn't ask you to see a specific movie (just said "let's go to a movie...") then he is DEFINITELY interested and wants to spend time with you.
(I don't think the age thing is a big deal. Do you?)

There is a higher probability that he wants more than a friendship. If he simply wanted company to a movie, he could have asked one of his male friends.

Not in my experience. He went out of his way to ask you to a movie....in his mind that IS a date. Do I think he has friendship in mind? Friends with benefits would be a more accurate assumption.
