Guy Afraid To Ask Out A Trans Girl Because Of What People Might Think, Asks Internet For Advice – It Delivers

ADVERTISEMENT

There’s no thing sweeter and more innocent than the first love. The initial lightness inside the stomach as butterflies start dancing at the sight of your crush, the fluttering in your heart at the thought of asking them out, and the shy glances once they show up, all compare to no other feeling in the world. But as exciting as those experiences are, they can also be scary as the shadow of rejection looms above. One 17-year-old, overwhelmed by his feelings for a transgender girl, decided to ask Reddit’s advice on the subject. People’s responses, as well as the guy’s own replies are some of the most wholesome content on the internet. So scroll down below to read the full exchange and don’t forget to tell us what you think!

    I would love to know how this story turns out. I hope these kids make a lovely relationship for themselves and I also hope that their joy and affection and honesty will open the eyes of all the people around them, adults and kids, and wash away the fear and bigotry. Good luck to these lovely young people.

    Hard luck. The Reddit account has gone silent, and the original post has been removed. I don't think we'll be hearing back... unless something really good, or bad happens. Hopefully everything went well, and they can get on with their lives.

    He sounds so in love, I could feel it gushing out of my computer screen and enveloping me. It's so pure, how much he wants to make her happy. Ugh, my heart is melting.
