Just answering this off the top of my head, I've known quite a handful of people that could have been in similar situations and decided not to go further with it- and down the road, I have to listen to them complain about how they made a mistake.
Just take the usual precautions and have fun for a while. Why not?
I say go for it and enjoy the ride. (no pun intended)
Naturally, you should hear the other side of the discussion before making your decision, but that's my stance on it.
