I am teaching at a university where I have a colleague who happened to be so good at numbers. She is a Calculus teacher and I admire her for that. It’s very rare to see women with these kind of talent. Because of that, I start to idolize her so much until I noticed a foreign feeling inside me. Everyday, I often find myself looking for her around the campus. Perhaps this is no longer an admiration I’m feeling and I guess it’s more than that. Do you think this is love already?

Potentially, you most certainly fancy her.

What's it like when you speak to this person? Have you built a working relationship, are you regularly speaking?

If so, then you could probably find an indicator of whether she likes you too. Once you have received some sort of indicator, I'd then make your move, but you need to realise that you work together, so, if you find out that she doesn't like you, then things can get quite awkward in the 'workplace'.

You need to be sure, I have dated employees before, it doesn't end well with the boss!

It's too early to say that it is love. Sometimes we mistaken infatuation as love. My advice is get to know her more first and once you see her flaws and your feeling is still the same, therefore, it is absolutely love. Love is when you learn to accept everything about a person and you want to spend every single day with her/him. One more thing, be careful with your actions because in the process of getting to know her, you might eventually end up with leading her on. You might realize that you're not into her and then she has already fallen for you. That's not a good thing to happen. So, be cautious and responsible.    

Please consider your thoughts and feelings carefully. There's a fine line between love and infatuation. You should fully get to know yourself first before venturing into any relationship like that. And it's important to know if the person feels the same way. That way, you won't end up hurting each other's feelings.
