First time being "sprung" (35M)

I'm open to advice from men or women on how I should handle or have you have handled this.

I've dated dozens of women (my first girlfriend was when I was 10), and I've never been the one to be more into them than me. In fact, I've usually held them at a distance and often played games (just being honest).

However, this girl is different. She is incredible. She has her faults, but I've never felt this way before. Quarantine has complicated things a bit.

How do you guys deal with this? It sucks. Lol.
