I'm not an expert at these things. I'm not the type of person who wants to hurt friendships. But I've been talking to this guy, and he's amazingly cool. I didn't think that he would like me back.

I kind of made a reference to it in a past comment of mine, and my friend (who is also a redditor) was going through my comment history yesterday and found it. It didn't identify him, but he gave me advice. He said to be brave and just tell my crush that I like him. He was so kind about it. I was just so nervous. I thought things like "What if he doesn't feel the same way about me? What if he thinks that I'm weird for this? What if I hurt our friendship?"

He said "You probably know him better than I do." and I giggled to myself.

No, I do not.

I really pushed myself. My last boyfriend was the one who asked me out, and I already knew that he liked me. This was a leap of faith, though. If this were me from 2 years ago, I would not have said a word. This is good. Asperger's is not getting in the way of my life, I am in control of what I do. Sometimes you just need to have faith in yourself and in what you do.

He likes me back. I'm having a hard time putting how I feel about into words.
