<human>: So at the end of this past summer I moved into a house in a university town, the house having 9 other 20-somethings living in it; most are graduate students but some work in the region. I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon the group.. It's a pretty close-knit bunch yet everyone has their own stuff going on, their own friends outside of the house network, etc.

Anyways, there's a girl in the house that I've recently begun feeling something for that extends beyond friendship. I was attracted to her from the start but just sort of wrote it out of my mind, I guess. Upon getting to know her these past 6 or 7 months, though... I'm not sure what happened, exactly, but one day I just started feeling/thinking about her differently. This was about a month ago and in the weeks that followed we sort of increased the exchange of little friendly gestures e.g. exchanging e-mails about things we think would interest the other, texting, etc.

Obviously, this is a pretty low-stakes situation. I'm not in love with her by any means, and nothing has occurred between us that would not be totally reasonable within the confines of a platonic friendship. Yet... I do harbor these feelings of desire for her - yes, a genuine desire to get to know her better as a person, but also, to be honest, a physical desire. What can I say? She's very attractive to me. I can say truthfully, though, that my interest in her as a person wouldn't somehow just end if I knew there was 0 chance of romance; I've enjoyed getting to know her all this time when that was virtually off the table (out of my mind at least).

Since it's not like I'm contemplating spilling my guts to her (what is there to spill, anyways?) or 'making a move', I guess really all I'm asking is, should I try and just push away the non-platonic feelings that I can feel rising up in me? People talk about the messiness of room-mate/housemate relationships and I can appreciate that sentiment, but should that be the deciding factor in this situation? Thanks for any advice.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Romantic feelings are welling up for a girl who lives in my house (~10 people). Should I try and crush these sentiments?
