I have a crush on my boss

I (30+) have a serious crush on my boss (40+). She's so pretty, kind, caring, and I love her fashion style so much. I know she's happily married and has kids, and I'm not planning to ruin any of that or get into any romantic relationship with her. I just can't help that I find her so attractive, and maybe I stare at her two seconds too long each time she walks by my workstation.

It maybe doesn't help that I'm the only feminine person on the team that she's directly supervising (I'm a trans woman). She's an excellent people person and can vibe with all the guys on the team, but... they're all guys. I feel like my boss gives me just a bit of special attention because of it, and that kind of feeds into the crush even more.

For example, when we talked about New Year's resolutions and hers was to go to the gym regularly, she casually dragged me into it. Me, specifically.

"So we can get slimmer for summer, right (Sophie)?" She then chuckled and gave me a wink.

She also occasionally compliments my wardrobe and makeup, and how pretty I look for the day, which sends me spiraling.

Or maybe she just needs an anchor and I'm the only one she can have a little girl talk with when we're at work. Idk, just wanted to get this off my chest since I can't spill this to anyone at my workplace for obvious reasons.
