It all started in a Roblox game, basically a game all about working in a castle. Days ago, I saw this player, his avatar is like an ancient Greek and I wanted to compliment it but he disappeared.
Days later in a different rank, I was talking with a friend when I suddenly saw him again. I wanted to continue where I left off, but something stopped me from doing so. My friend helped by going to him and telling him the compliment, when she came back, I joked, "What's next, you're gonna help me confess?" And she went back, told him he had an admirer and told him to follow her. I ran away at first, but decided to come back and fight the fear. Our interaction was short and a bit awkward, and he walked away without saying goodbye, he changed his focus to a random high ranking and followed.
I cannot stop thinking about it, I was in denial because I had believed I would never fall in love, and this is sudden. I do not like the sensation of love, the heating feeling, the heart jump, and how my heart feels heavy. My friends kept telling me it was okay to have a crush, they encouraged the feeling, so by day 2, I kept thinking about him and could not stop mentioning him.
Today, I notice another player who is in the same outfit theme as him, but on a different account, peaking from a door while I was outside the castle. I went back in to go find my friend, thinking this user was just a coincidence, but they also walked away and went upstairs. When I told my friend the player's attire looked similar to the guy's, they left and as I checked, they changed their avatar. This might be an alt account, because why are they peaking and walk away when I got close.
I am conflicted, I did not ask to feel this way, it was sudden. I fear I might made the guy uncomfortable to the point of avoiding me. I do not want him to be scared to the point he avoids. My friends told me it is okay, and even encouraged it more. But I feel like it is wrong, and I do not want the guy to also be overwhelmed.
If I DM him that I am sorry and that I understand he might be uncomfortable, he might be more overwhelmed. I do not want this, and I do not know what to do.
