I think a coworker matched on a dating site

I've been passively on FB dating since my breakup with my last boyfriend in May. I've been meaning to delete my profile for many reasons but just didn't get around to it. Anyway I think someone I met at work one time matched with me. He doesn't work in the same location as me. I know they say don't date people you work with but, hey, we're going to be retired in a few years. Does this apply to our age? Should I match and at least get a date out of it? Or will it end up being uncomfortable no matter what? I'm not even 100% it's him.
