It's just a little crush

I have a crush on someone.

I'm not very good at having crushes. They're sort of like little death sentences. They make my life temporarily hellish, providing worry where it's not necessary and uncertainty where it's not welcome. Aren't crushes supposed to be fun?

Let's talk about the guy for a moment. He's one of the sweetest men I have ever met. He is caring, genuine, cute, and honest...and to cap it off, he wants to be in a monogamous relationship.

But...

He has very recently been involved with someone.

Of course.

And he's not over him.

Of course.

I crush nevertheless because this guy shows such a strong passion for life and for people. Talking to him makes me feel comfortable. Being with him makes me want to relax. Now that I feel like I've revealed too much to him, I'm scared.

Oops.
