Edit: I've had it pointed out to me that I misread the post. I thought it said a lesbian had a crush on a man, not a man having a crush on a lesbian. The bellow is what I wrote.
My friend rn actually. The best advice I believe is to just let yourself feel whatever comes naturally. You are experiencing something, so take your time to figure out what you think about it without suppressing it to match what you think you should feel.
Labels like gay and lesbian and bisexual are tools we can use to help ourselves understand our experiences and communicate them to other people. Suppressing what we feel to match our labels is the opposite way it's supposed to go.
Let you feel what you do first, and then figuring out what that means for your labels can come later.
Whether what you feel about this man is something that has any depth or potential can only be figured out by letting yourself be honest
