Think first: It's good that you are asking here. There is a part of you that believes that there is something wrong with falling in love with your daughter's roommate. Seek psychological help even if it is just to get through this. It's important that you are clear about your feelings and boundaries before you act. Good luck.

Boundaries: Sounds confusing. Perhaps seeing a therapist could help you to clarify where the lines are and which ones should or should not be crossed.

Love fantasy: Better get counseling asap. This could ruin your life and maybe many others. Mid life crisis. Get a hold of yourself and stop this fantasy.

One important thing: You forgot to include was the age of your daughter's room mate. If she is a minor - acting on impulses may move into the realm of criminal conduct very quickly. The fact that she calls you dad means that you would have the potential to cause her some real emotional harm if you pursue this. Are you in love with her or are you in lust with her? I suspect that "going after" the room mate might >.
