The bad one is that, if I were you, I would not push it further. In fact, I would not have let it reach even this point. At my workplace, there's a woman who got in one of the top positions by doing almost exactly what you describe. She got (overly) friendly, and flirty, and sexy with an older medium-level manager for quite a while. Then, as soon as he finally made a move on her, the shitstorm started. At the end, she made a deal (I would call it blackmail), and to avoid a very media-public harassment suit the guy was let go and she was offered one of the top-level manager positions in the company. And by the way, she is a rude arrogant person who takes pleasure in gratuitously (and literally) insulting people, and nobody can tell her anything. So, I'm sorry for being the voice of caution, but... well... I'd be very cautious in your position.

Oh I am old enough to be VERY aware of all of that for sure. We were friends prior to her working at the same place so there was a comfort level prior. She is an interesting one though. People joke that we should be married, and despite what we talk about, she is very reserved at work. It is a male dominated industry we work in, so she stands out being young and looking like she does. We have been places and the entire job site will stop and stare. Which I tease her about. There are a few times she has come to me when someone at work needs a slight attitude adjustment, there are a few that have hit her up privately on social media. That is me being her friend more than anything else.
I always leaned towards the flirty friendship side, just because of how well we know each other and how well we get along. She has to know what she is doing, probably enjoys the attention if she is not getting it at home. I get the privilige of certain things because she is so comfortable with me, and that is certainly not a bad thing at all. Makes the work day a whole lot better.
