IF YOU ARE FEMALE:

I'm sure there won't be consequences.

Some people may now know you have a crush on said colleague but that's it I imagine. We can't help who we have a crush on.

IF YOU ARE MALE

I dunno dude, just hope it goes away I guess. I imagine the worst thing that could happen is your boss or HR has a quiet word and tells you to stop doing it.

It's so messed up how that works. A friend of mine was sexually harassed multiple times from the same person at his work and his HR manager told him that she doesn't investigate female on male harassment.

That's discrimination, and that person should be terminated for it. Your friend should go to that HR person's higher up and report it.

He did and he got a decent settlement out of it for discrimination and for the sexual harassment as she was his supervisor.

Updated the post to reflect that. Agreed, just have to wait and see if anything comes of it…

Anyhow, it would probably be best to apologise to the crush and stop doing it? It can't be good for you either
