Fine. Then risk your job for this "grand Love". You are only 25 with much to learn yet

We live in different times now.

Like it or not, traditional rules of old both personal and in the public environment, are no longer applicable. Everything is fair game within reason.

I would advise OP to take it slowly. Continue to chat with him everyday and try to gauge his true interest level. Eventually, drop hints that you would like to go out for coffee or lunch, or just invite him casually and play it cool. Go from there.

This is a sensitive area where one wrong move can backfire, so don't rush too much. Baby steps, girl, baby steps.

You are 25 and yet you come across as having the maturity level of a 16 year old. Don't poop where you eat.

Focus on your job, leave him alone
Be the best at your tasks, contribute the most possible for the company. SAY nothing to your boss, love, managers, employees, friends.

Give it a few yrs.

If it's to be, you'll be great friends and natural companions.

In due time, not tomorrow, or 2 yrs from tomorrow.
The best and lasting wins are not pursued, they are nurtured through long term trust, dependability, heartfelt and not fabricated relationships. Fortunately myself, spouse, kids never had to resort to dating / pretend relationships. They were all nurtured first through common interests and volunteer community service with each other in mutually shared causes. Long friendship= long and fruitful relationship. No dating required, or desired.

You've been there "half a month" which equals 10 work days. You really sure this is endgame?

Finding love or even a soul mate is very satisfying.

There is nothing more stirring than to find "the other one" has feelings for you.
However, to be fair, men don't react / respond in quite the same fashion to romantic advances - in general. And at the office / workplace, it is a minefield.

Perhaps it would be wise to discover where he might go socialize, and show up there, and see if sparks fly - outside of the office environment. Or drop hints where you go to socialize, and see if he shows up. Could be something as innocent as sitting in a park feeding pigeons.

STAY. A. WAY.

Keep it professional. You said this is a crush, you've known him one pay period.

STAY. A. WAY. You are an untrained civilian without a mine detector walking through a mine field.
