this is not a hypothetical scenario, but I don't want others to know, so the context has been changed slightly since I've used pseudonyms.
Dan works in the Buying department of a company, and has been so since April 2009. Dan, over the past month or so, has developed an attraction to Rachel, who is about 27 and works in the Finance Dept. Dan and Rachel have lunch sometimes, but Dan cannot stop thinking about Rachel, and has a huge crush on her.
Is Dan in love? It seems odd since Dan does not know much about Rachel, apart from obviously her name and where she lives. Is it just an empty infatuation, or could Dan build on his attraction to Rachel?
More information would be nice. How old is Dan? How does Rachel act towards him? Yes, it does sound like infatuation, but infatuation could grow into something more.

Dan is 31, and Rachel acts friendly but nothing more. Any attraction is probably from his end at this time.
Then, if it is just infatuation, the only thing to do is get to know her...see how it goes. You will know if it becomes something more...and if she is interested or not. Just take it slow...and don't worry about it.
A crush is a crush. It's not really possible to be "in love" with someone that you don't know very well. One of the most wonderful things about a crush is that it allows the mind to wonder about lust, how wonderful the subject of the crush might be, how wonderful it would be to be with her, etc. In short, it allows the dream to feature a real person. But ... it's not real. It's not reality.
All that said, a true romance begins with attraction ... a crush. However, fair warning ....REALITY CHECK TIME!!! --- Dan should remember that they both work at the same company & any romance could impact his job, etc. - He should remember that she is not showing any interest. - he should also remember that he knows nothing about his co-worker.
Please be careful.
Take care of yourself.
