Smth like that happened to me a few days back and honestly it wasn't a surprise I've always known how she felt about me but she was never the type of person i would go for but for a moment I thought maybe this is the type of girl I need because all the reasons that were holding me back were the exact reasons that made her right for me. But make sure when you lay it all out for him that he is mature and ready enough to understand why you're doing this and don't be afriad to fight for yourself there's no shame in that cuz love is all we have and if you think you found it, you have to go all in.
