when you wake up from your dream you will be ok  eom

You say that Miss Angela has fallen for you...but hasn't "admitted" it yet.  You know this because Miss Shelia has told you Miss Angela "admitted it" to her.

Ok first bit of advice:
In matter of the heart, don't allow third parties (ie Miss Shelia) to convince you of the feelings of another.  If Miss Angela has feelings for you (which is different from "falling for" someone) she should be the one to tell you so, until that happens don't be flattered or anything else by third hand gossip that could hurt you and Miss Angela in the long run.

Until she herself tells you anything then there isn't anything.  Maybe she does have feelings for you, but doesn't wish to pursue them, if that is the case it will not become anything just because someone else told you of the feelings. Maybe she has feelings for you that are of a different nature than as characterised by Miss Shelia, and assumed by you.  You don't know exactly what Miss Angela feels for you or not, because she hasn't told you...and until she does you won't know.

Second bit of advice:
No matter how flattered you are or how much you may want something to come of this, if it is to happen it has to happen in its own time.  If either of you are not ready and move only because that third party told you needed to "talk" about it, it most likely won't work out.  If you push for Miss Angela to tell you what she may or may not have shared with another she may back away from telling you anything...ever.  

Third bit of advice:
If you feel something for her and wish to share that, do so...but do so only because you want to share it, not because you want her to reciprocate, not because you hope it will spur anything on.  Be prepared, that if you open your heart she may not want to, or be ready to enter. If you tell her of your feelings for her do so only because you want her to know she is cared for, or loved, or whatever it is you feel for her, expect nothing in return.

Love is a gift we give, and should be given freely simply because we feel love...it carries no real strings, it doesn't have attached to it demands, or expectations.  Love is ultimately a selfless emotion. Never say "I love you." because you want it said back to you. Never expect because you love another that they should therefore do or show you anything just because you love them, if you honestly love someone then it you who will do and show that with no assumptions that your love for another carries any impetus for the one you love to be anything other than whom you love.

Fourth bit of advice:
Be sure of what you feel.  In your post you ask about ladies falling in love with clients, you say things about being told Miss Angela has "fallen for" you, but you say you "have feelings for" her. You say finding out about her feelings for you (refer back to first bit of advice), that you were shocked, but it's "ok".  You say it is flattering.

There is a large disparity between falling in love and being flattered and "ok" with someone falling in love with you.

You say you feel damn lucky...but why?
Nothing you wrote actually implies that you return her feelings (if she feels what you have been told; first bit of advice again)...if that is the case and you haven't "fallen for" her and are not "in love with" her...then what are you pursuing with her?
What are you wanting from your March meeting if the feelings, on your part, are not akin to hers?

Fifth bit of advice:
if you do not feel for her what have been led to believe she feels for her, don't lead her on, don't use her possible feeling for you to flatter you or feed your ego. Don't try and play at  romantic love if it is not what you are feeling.
She and you both deserve better...
You deserve to be with someone you actually love and she deserves to be with someone that actually loves her.

Sixth bit of advice:
Be honest with yourself and be honest with her, and alloww her to do the same.  
If she does have the feelings you purport her to have for you, but you do not feel the same...tell her. It may hurt her for a bit, but not nearly as much as it would hurt to be misled in love.

If she doesn't have the feelings for you you have been told she has, listen when she tells you that and don't allow your ego, fantasy or hopes to not listen to what she tells you...and don't play games with your own mind to convince yourself she really feels in a way other than she is saying just because you want her to.


In you post you also make a rather odd statement, that she is "not really even into the business".

Does that matter so much?  Does her level of involvement change who she is or her capacity to love or be loved...and if to your mind it does, then how much involvement in the business is too much?  

Is the reason you are "ok" with her having feelings for you because you think she wasn't really in the business too much?  Would your feelings or being "ok" with hers change if you discovered she was more active in the business than your currently believe?  Is it her you are "ok" with having love you or is it instead a general idea of who you could be "ok" with and want to apply that to her to make it easier to accept?  


Seventh bit of advice:
Take very seriously both your own and other's feelings...there is great room for damage if you do not.  Tread lightly in matters of love for it very easy to trample an opened heart.


I wish you both the best in this, whether it becomes what you imply it is or not.  
As for you feeling "damn lucky", you should because anytime another cares for us, anytime another has kind feelings for us, anytime another shares anything of themselves with us we are damned lucky, because those things are gifts you can not earn, or finesse...and there is nothing one can do to make another give them...so always be grateful for love and kindness and openness from another, as it is the most precious gift you can be given.

Glenn,

From my perspective I always make an effort to be concerned that clients are as happy and satisfied  as humanly possible. However, one must remember that we always need to stay at an arms length emotionally. Truly enjoying the company of your chosen partner is a fundamental part of the hobby.

Keep your heart and your soul in tact at all times but enjoy the hobby for what it is. A brief loss of equilibrium, a short departure from reality and an opportunity to be close to someone you've purposely chosen to spend time with.
To answer your question: The answer is, sometimes yes. How can I not fall in love a little with men who sweep me off my feet? I must remember that they are involved already.
