Love is Annoying

(Keep in mind all of this is in an online setting)

So I’m pretty sure I have a crush on this guy that I haven’t known for that long (under a year) but I can’t help my emotions in the slightest. We’ve both proven that we’re completely trustworthy if one another and I recently came out to him as being a trans man. My problem is that he’s presumably not gay and, at the same time, we haven’t known one another that long.

I’ve been trying to observe his behaviours and the way he reacts to me and other things but I can’t really place if he could feel the same way about me? One of the first questions he asked me when I came out, though incredibly dumb, was “What gender would a trans person date?” And yes he’s rather unknowing of anything to do with transgenderism but that question just made me think “what if he’s asking because he likes me?”

In the end I don’t know. I need some advice and can’t talk to my friends otherwise they’d know and immediately tell him and I don’t want to ruin our friendship as it is.
