I'm recovering from dating a series of LVM a while back, but I've taken lots of time for leveling up myself since then, and I'm proud to say that I'm at the highest point I've ever been at in my entire life! my friends and therapist all say the same thing

I work closely with a guy who I met about 6 months ago, he makes me feel more respected and valued than any man I have ever dated, and he seems like the first guy I have met in a long time that would actually treat his girlfriend like a queen

I've got it bad for this man, and from the tension we have when we are together, I think it is at least a little reciprocated

I want to tell him that I am interested in him, not ask him out, just say, "hey I like you a lot" and leave it at that, however I don't want to fall into old habits, and end up being a pickmesha in another bad relationship again, I've made a lot of progress as a person, and I'd rather be single and keep being happy if that's what it comes to, so according to FDS, what is my move? is it ok to admit to having a crush? or do I keep my mouth shut and resume as normal?
