<human>: I've been working with this married woman for a few years now.  I'm not a very social person, and I never talked to her much except if I had work related questions.

Earlier this year we worked a little more closely on a work project and I got to know her personality a bit more, and I started falling for her.  I wasn't actually going to do anything about it, since she's married, but still, I wanted to be friends with her.

So I started talking to her a lot more frequently, maybe once or twice every week.  She is very extroverted and very talkative, and my social skills are not very good.  So she typically does most of the talking, and I'll chime in with a comment here and there.  It seems like most of the time I'm just saying "yeah" and "uh huh" to whatever she says.  But she's so good at keeping the conversations going that some of them have lasted for 30-60 minutes.  We usually talk about work related things, but sometimes talk about non-work related stuff.

It seems like she thinks of me as a friend (which I'm very happy about), and last week she even asked me to go to lunch with her.

I'm just curious why she wants to be friends with me.  Like I said, when we talk, she does most of the talking, so even though this has been going on for several months now, she probably still doesn't know me that well.  I also probably come off as kind of boring.  I'm not sure what I offer her to make her want to be friends with me.  She's friends with a lot of other people in the company, so I'm not sure why she bothers to waste an hour talking to me on so many occasions.  I'm also pretty sure she knows I have a crush on her, and based on what I've read, most women would probably want to avoid talking to me.  She doesn't flirt with me, and I'm pretty sure she's happy in her marriage.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Developed a crush on a married coworker, been talking to her a lot more often, and she actually wants to be friends with a boring socially awkward guy like me - why?
