I realized I have omitted some facts that are relevant... So before you jump to conclusions, here they are:
1. He is my direct superior. He hired me and can fire me.
2. I did not actively do anything to make myself more attractive nor did I leave love notes on his desk. However, if he calls a meeting, I have to attend it.
3. By "hopelessly in love" I am giving him the benefit of a doubt. He has power over me, I have zero power over him. I don't known what goes on in his head and I can only guess what his intentions are.
4. This job made me happy. I am prone to anxiety and depression and I was depressed for a very long time. Reaching out here is my last cry for help before I quit (which I cannot do on very short notice for practical reasons, such as health insurance...).
5. For all the reasons above, I can only slightly limit my contact with him, which I do already. I do skip some meetings.
I am looking for advice whether there is any way I can try to revert the relationship to its previous state where we could work together.
