Help, I think I'm going to confess to my work crush

Name changed for this. I've had this crush for a year. I work with this guy and I'd say we're friends, but we've hung out outside of work and, although there's been nothing inappropriate, I've felt that there's something there. I was in a LTR until very recently and I know he has a GF. I think it's probably limerence - this has happened to me before and I'm exploring in therapy, but I need to kill these feelings. He will generally ask when I'm coming into the office and can we hang out. I feel like I'm just going to say that I can't and then explain why, i.e. I have feelings for him, not a big deal and I'll get over it, but hanging out is not a good idea. He's a nice guy and think he'll be OK about it, but is it a good idea? I guess part of me is probably hoping it's reciprocated, although I know that I'm not in a position to get into anything serious anyway. I can't ghost him as we work together. Help!

Work through your feelings WITHOUT telling him anything.

He has a GF and you are work colleagues. No need to tell him anything. It wouldn't be fair to him.
