I have absolutely NO idea where to put this, so here you go r/self.

So a few months ago I started to see a personal counselor because my long term girlfriend decided she wasn't sure if I was "the one" and broke up with me. I didn't seek counseling for anything serious, but I wanted to have an intelligent conversation with someone regarding my feelings toward the whole situation, and it seemed like the best option.

Unfortunately for me the counselor that I was stuck with is the same age as myself and very attractive. I honestly think that I am more attracted to her because of her intelligence than anything, but I know that there is no way to pursue anything outside of our professional relationship at the moment. 

Fast forward to today, I have only been to talk to her 4 times, and I'm over my past relationship. I don't see the need to keep going to see someone to have a decent discussion any longer, and I would like to start a friendship with my counselor outside of our professional relationship.

Is this too taboo? I feel like it is, but I would regret not asking - and I also don't want to put her in a position that jeopardizes her job. 

Reddit. I come to you for wisdom. Has anyone else been in this scenario before? How would you handle the situation?

I want to start a friendship with a counselor that I see once a week, but feel like something is off. I don't know how

I am no longer in a relationship, and I want to start a friendship with a counselor, but I'm not sure how to do it.
