Am I gay? or just confused?

I started a part-time job recently. At first, I couldn't careless about my manager but as of late, I've been thinking about her all the time. I don't know why but I always crave for her attention - I get a little sad when she's not in for work, or when I hardly interact with her on that day. I don't know why but I always have this urge to get to know her better which is very confusing because now I am not sure of how I really should act around her.

Am I crushing on her? Because it does sound like I am but again, I really have no idea because I never have a real crush before. And the other problem is, we're both of the same sex, so could I be gay but in denial? I don't have anything against being gay but I never thought of it actually happening to me - that is all.

Is there anyway I can do to stop feeling this way? Because I don't want to ruin whatever work relationships that I have with my boss and my other workmates. I did confide in a friend and she casually brushes it off as me being lonely. I thought this is just a "phase" but for god sake I am in my 20s already, so I thought I have passed that stage already!

Any advice would be appreciated!

Update:

I have lots of close girl-friends but I never thought of them romantically EVER. So that's why I don't understand why I am trying so hard to seek her attention. Why does it have to be her!? At first, I thought maybe it's the difference in our age - she's about 10 years older than me, so automatically I have some kind of respect for my seniors. But there are many work colleagues of the same age too and I don't feel any feelings like this towards them.

    I don't think you are gay because you would've had these feelings during your early teens. Perhaps your friend is right and you're just a bit lonely and have mistaken your feelings of respect and wanting to be friends with your boss for something else. Although you can be friendly, there is a certain protocol of behavour between boss and employee. Look elsewhere for romance.

    If anything I think your bi curious but getting involved with someone at work can cause major issues so I advise you to use self control and not pursue her in any way. It does sound like you have a crush on her but keep that a secret and find a love interests outside of work.

    It Sounds like you are neither confused or gay just need to experiment. And for the record when you are in your 20s that stage is worse than ever.

    If you are confused you prolly are gay or at least a little bicurious. Have yo ever had and enjoyed straight sex? cuz if no or you didnt enjoy it your gay or bi at least. This type of **** doesnt just pop up when ur 20 unless you were repressed and unable to express yourself during puberty

    Well, you may be. But go out were there are a bunch of girls and see how you feel then. If you feel normal then your not if you don't then you probably are. Meet new people and you will get over the small crush.

    Maybe you're Bi? Anything is possible and that is what I know. I would suggest trying to date someone outside of work to get your mind off of the boss,... It will help you figure out your real feelings and maybe set you straight... (No pun intended)

    I think you're just confused. because you never had a real crush, so maybe, you're in this for the attention..
