I think I'll say yes... (sh.itjust.works)

I'm 22 years old and trans (man). I'm definitely on the aroace spectrum, but when I do feel attraction, it's towards women.

I've recently been talking to an online friend of mine, Ana, who recently confessed to me (like a few days ago). I felt really bad and eventually decided to ask for advice.

At first, I panicked and said "Sorry, no." Then, I cried. I apologized to her and got an answer back that it wasn't my fault (according to her), she didn't mean to make me panic, and that she likes me because I'm genuinely kind and good-natured. She says I make her feel seen and loved.

I responded with "Thank you." but I'm afraid it seems like I don't like her back when I do. I'm far too scared to ask her out but I definitely want to.

Hot take. Just send them the link to this thread. If it's meant to be it'll be fine.

RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
