Teenage Like Crush

    So I'll keep this short...

    Have developed a crush on a girl I work with, I'm 25 and she is a little younger...I know your thinking, what 25 year old uses the term crush, its the only word that describes the feelings, very much like the crushes I would have had on the girl next door as i was growing up or that good looking girl on tv etc etc

    The girl currently works with me and when she first started, i was like yeah she is very attractive but was like whatever, but the longer she has been there and the more we chat these feelings have started to emerge...

    For a number of reasons i know nothing can happen(or will), firstly i'd reckon she'd be out of my league(self deprecation on my part maybe), also I'm kind of her boss in work...

    Just needed to vent and maybe get advice on how not to mess things up, like working with her and seem to have a laugh, so would prefer not to my usual thing and do something stupid

    Eh can someone not develop a crush at any age? I know crushes are associated more with the very young, but actually they happen at any age, especially if you're single! It's just an intense attraction/infatuation. In saying that, as people mature they should be better equipped to deal with them for what they are, and not as you say go and 'do something stupid'.
    If you are sure it is inappropriate to act on it, and it certainly seems so if you are her boss, then try to minimise the chat etc and create some distance. Perhaps make an effort to get out there and try dating, online or otherwise, it will shift the focus from this girl, and you may meet someone who is more suited to you
