And I didn't even think about attraction.

I thought maybe you'll catch feelings later.

Like things just like progress.

I don't know.

Yeah.

And I put myself in like uncomfortable positions and situations, which luckily like nothing bad happened and I stepped away.

But I wish I knew that I didn't need to do that.

And I didn't need to like be in situations that made me uncomfortable.

Yeah.

But then simultaneously, while this was happening, I was in school and I saw this girl and just like immediate gay panic.

And I was like, oh, my God, who is this person?

She's gorgeous and she's super smart and cool and like the way she dressed.

And I was like, oh, wow.

And I think for the very first time, I let myself think about that for more than a minute and I let myself get excited.

Did you talk to the girl?

I sure did.

And then we became friends later and everything.

But then I was like, wow, oh my God.

Like I found myself wanting to sit next to her in class.

I found myself wanting to just like, you know, get to know her.
