I’m 27f he’s 25m

Crush on this guy in my friend group for 6 months.

Known him for about a year.

Have hung out a few times as a group and pre-corona we spent like 4 hours one on one talking while we were with the group and we have a lot in common and he’s the cutest. Since covid stuff, we have chatted on voice chat on discord, again as a group but he always seems really surprised when I join and is very nice.

I have had him on my mind a little before this… He streams video games and I will watch him and talk to him on there. We don’t DM hardly at all, MAYBE once a month. But I think he’s hilarious and very charming.

I have a feeling that he doesn’t want to come off as creepy, since it’s a pretty tight knit group. I also feel like I’m creepy too? I have dated 2 people, and I don’t go out on dates or have dating apps or anything. I think that’s what I’m most worried about, just not being socially aware of certain things.

So I asked, very out of the blue by texting him, if he wanted to get coffee. We haven’t talked in like 3 weeks so maybe that was weird for him. He said he’d love to, and that he knows of a place where we can sit outside and chat.

It seemed like a very friendly conversation.

But like, I want to date him and be his girlfriend eventually. What do I say? I’m extremely nervous and feel like throwing up over it. I worry I’m gonna say something dumb. Or be too intense. Or he will think I roped him into a “date” that he didn’t want to be on. 🙁

Tldr; nervous about hanging out with a guy I have a huge crush on, that’s basically it.
