<human>: I've a co-worker who I've supervised and mentored since she started working for us over 2 years ago. I've always thought she was cute but have never thought of it any more than that over that time. We weren't friends or anything outside of our working relationship either. However, over the past couple of months, we've hung out a few times outside of work and have txt'd back and forth a little bit as well. We had a chat the other day and agreed that it'd be smart to not let this go any further in that it'll complicate our working relationship. We've cut back on the hanging out and chatting outside of work, but I can't help but to like her more and more..

On one hand, I'm hoping this will pass as I'm afraid it'll impair my ability to do my job and manage her. But on the other hand, I'm having a tough time not thinking about her or feeling the way I do about her. Seeing and working with her every day does not help! I think we both know how we feel about each other. If we didn't work together or even not working in the same department, I wouldn't be here asking for advice right now, but I am. Any thoughts? Advice? Thanks!

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
