#also i'm super endeared to this boy now after the whole 'i've never experienced this before'

[retvenkos]

OKAY. so the thing about this crush -- my childhood boy, liked him since i was 5 -- is that he isn't too experienced in the romance department, and so the first thing he said after my whole confession and then ranting about black holes and also apple pie was that he's never had an experience like this and he's scared to talk about it but he's not sure how he feels etc etc. right? and so for me, i was okay just being friends of course i'd be sad and everything but it was okay so basically i reass

ured him that anything he felt was okay and all that and i'd still like to be his friend and stuff, and i said if you are just trying to spare my feelings don't worry about it, and if he was really truly unsure we don't have to talk about it immediately only when he was comfortable of course and then he said back that he was "feeling some sort of way [he's] never felt before" and how he didn't want to say anything because what if it wasn't what he thought, so then i responded basically saying no pressure, and then an hour or so later he said "being honest i feel weird, but i'm 100% certain that its not a bad weird, and my head is absolute mush right now, but when i think about saying that i like you i get really really happy, and i always enjoy talking with and listening to you, and you make me smile and i don't know how i'm supposed to say this or whats going to happen or literally anything right now but what i'm trying to get to is that i like you, and i'm rlly rlly nervous but i like you and i'm happy about it" AND I'M -- i've read it so many times. my brother and i were making apple pies in the kitchen when i got it and he had to watch me prance around the kitchen and swoon and do the whole thing and i haven't been able to stop smiling because IT HAS HAPPENED it has HAPPENED it has jfkdsjafkldsajfkls hapeendeja kflajdskf jkjfkldsjfkla and i'm so HAPPY OH MY GOSH

okay, but i love this boy,,,,,,, the fact that he's being considerate of your feelings is my everything. saying he wants to be sure before he leads you on,,,,,, okay, sir. i see you. i respect you. but ohmygod, you've known him for so long, and this entire scenario reads like a ya romance novel, asfghjkjhgfdsasdghjhgfdsdfg.

i adore this for you, michelle, and now you have to keep me updated because i'm so invested in this story. i'm rooting for this childhood best friend,,,,,,, he better not blow this,,,,,,
