Chat, is it creepy to have a totally unjustified crush (hexbear.net)

I'm not sure I should start this conversation and I've been rewriting this a lot lol. But I could use some relating and opinions from fellow internet leftists

Ok so, to keep it really simple: I happened to share a meal with somebody I really liked. I have interacted casually (no flirting) for about a dozen minutes total and we exchanged contact because of shared-interests (not dating)

Now my brain is fried

I'm thinking about her way too much and it gives be bad vibes, she probably has no idea and I can't imagine the sheer horror of realising that someone is thinking this much about you after so little interaction.

I want to be a well-behaved straight (kinda bi but that's beyond the point) guy, I'm trying to be an ally to the feminist cause, so, failing this spectacularly at behaving normally in relation to women disgust me. I know I can't remove the patriarchy from my body but I damn wish I could.

I don't know. Thinking about it. I met this woman, when she walked into the room once. I nearly died inside. She was stunning. I've never met anyone like her. I was smitten, not just on looks, but on so many aspects of her. I was secretly having a crazy crush on her for AGES. Thinking about her. Seeing her out, but not wanting to be pushing, etc.

Then, one night we were at a party thing, and she just locked lips with me in the lounge room of all places. She, it turned out, was wildly attracted to me also, all that time. Who'd have thought?! I was being so well-behaved all that time.

She's my wife now. Total win. 16 years later, and we're still wild for each other. I have no idea how that happens as I'm turning into an old guy, but, she's damn fine, and I'm still smitten when she walks in the room. Maybe even more so than back then.

I'm a fan of "go for it". For if we didn't, we'd not have experienced all the joys, tears, ups and downs, and grown our love for of all these years together.
