I've recently started coming out as trans and this subreddit has reminded me that there are people like me.

It's just nice knowing that there are other trans men who aren't teenagers like me. It reminds me that I'm also gonna grow up and be in my 20's and 30's etc. Idk, It just made me feel happier.

She didn't say no?

I confessed recently - and she didn't say no?

She initially said that she didn't know how to feel at the moment and that she just needed some time but she thought I was brave for letting her know. She actually thanked me for letting her know that I liked her? I said that she could take as much time as she needed to think about it because I don't want her making the wrong decision for herself - it would break my heart if she was just dating me because I liked her.

She was grateful for my understanding and she explained that she just needed a break from anything romantic and she just needs to wait until she's a little older and out of high school etc, and I agreed to it, and said that whatever makes her comfortable is fine by me.

She said that we could try something in the future though? I think that is her saying no, for the time being. And she said that this hasn't changed how she sees me as her best friend and that nothing I do can do that so basically she still wants me around? She even said that she'd also thought about us in that romantic light before too, she just didn't know if it was all platonic or romantic etc.

Do you guys think I have a chance in the future or nah? I personally think I do, but obviously I'm hoping for the best sooo...

I have asked her out. I tried to do it in a way that might salvage the relationship if it goes tits up, idk if I did a good job. I mean, I think I did, but... we will wait and see.

"Hey [crush's name], I've liked you for a while. I was wondering if you would like to go out with me some time? If you don't feel the same, I completely understand, take all the time you need. Don't feel pressured to say yes, I don't want this to end our friendship."

I feel like if I received this I'd be alright with it, but still.

I really want her to know I love her - but I CANNOT do this in person. Like, I won't even say the words, I am too shy. Is it bad to say it over text? Should I just stay quiet?? What do I say???
