Yeahhhhh they have spoken a few times. Over zoom. For work. That’s never been disputed? I never said they had only spoken once.

It depends on what they've spoken about. I hope you "gel" well with colleagues, otherwise there is a culture problem. It's easy to get well with people in a professional setting because you are a bit forced to. I'm not saying he is being forced, but let's not mix up professionalism with chemistry.
I think you’ve misread what the OP posted and have created a brand new scenario. How do you know they’ve only had professional work related conversations? She says she only knows him in a professional capacity… but that doesn’t mean they’ve only had work conversations.
We’ve lived in a global pandemic for the past year which is still ongoing. A lot of people have gelled over Zoom as that’s pretty much been the only way of contact! Life is too short OP, I hope you are happy in whatever decision you made! Ignore the haters 
Bloody hell you'd think you'd all been party to the conversation to know they have no chemistry. The OP herself has said there seems to be a connection. Maybe the conversation has been slightly flirty to give her this impression. I doubt him screen sharing a spreadsheet made her think there's chemisty
Oh I don’t know, if he’s made a particularly good Excel sheet, who knows what other skills he has
If you seriously can’t wrap your head around why this might be deemed as inappropriate in a professional work environment then I can only assume you don’t nor have ever worked in such an environment.Why can't people who have spoken a few times add each other on Facebook
Grown ups who work in professional establishments who interact with colleagues- senior colleagues no less - don’t go around foraging on Facebook to find people they speak to via work to then send unsolicited friend requests. It’s unprofessional and crosses a boundary. I don’t know why that’s so difficult to understand?
Calm down. I'm just stating a fact. If she feels a connection, good for her. I've been there, I know what it's like.
She didn't provide much context or any evidence of him liking her. She just said she thinks he likes her, but we don't have much background information. Ultimately, it's her call. We're nobodies giving biased advice on a random forum. OP has probably already made up her mind. For what we know, she probably already reached out to him on FB or whatever platform while we're here going round in circles.
This is the most patronising thing I've ever read, and I've read a lot of your posts.
I suggest you learn to wrap your head around the fact people are allowed to have a different opinion to you.
Speaking from experience you can meet someone in person and think there's chemistry but actually the person is just friendly. So it doesn't make that much of a difference really.
I’m out. The OP hasn’t even responded for ages.
OP I hope you met the guy, fell madly in love and shagged his brains out. And if not, no big deal.

I can only assume by your posts you're a stuck up cowI am a happy stay at home Mum at the moment, thanks hun. But when I did work, surprise surprise, that's where I met my boyfriend.
So unless you live back in the stone ages where your mindset on all your advice forum posts seem to be - people can meet at work
People have added me from work/uni on FB. Are you saying I’m wrong and they’re wrong for forming friendships, potentially romantic relationships?! Loads of people meet at work!
I don’t think adding colleagues who you gel with and get on well, but only know in a professional capacity (I.e via work) is wrong. I work in a professional corporate industry and have had some friend requests, some I accept, some I don’t. It isn’t deemed unprofessional or inappropriate IMO. I think it just depends on the level or friendship/relationship you have with the person
She met him at work. She says earlier on in this thread.
was it while they were handing out lobster at a michelin star restaurant?
