Bachelor going after love? Wait and see (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

observe

'see' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bachelor going after love? wait' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'going after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'love?' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'wait' becomes 'serve' (I've seen this before**).
'b' after 'o' is 'ob'.
'ob'+'serve'='OBSERVE'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for observe that I've seen before include "Notice; study" , "Keep - watch" , "Keep an eye on" , "Watch carefully" , "Scrutinise or comply with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
