Wuuuwii, I'm in love
(19M) I have always considered myself some goth recluse incapable of emotion. The first and last time I was "in love" was in high school and the guy ended up hating me because I passed exams without studying hard and he wasn't really the sharpest tool in the shed. He even chose a subject combination I didn't just to get away from me cause I was "distracting" him and called me a snake and many other stuff(btw I still miss the smell of his sweat and his voice and his eyes and his arms and his awkward walking and his long slender dick). Fast forward ...I'm in 2nd year in a uni close to home so I just commute, so sijawai really experience all that freedom ya outside nor have I interacted with any gay guys in school as I'm not that social. So there is this local minisupermarket in our estate.This year they added a new staff member. Oh my God he is so hot, not model hot but hot. His face is well chiselled and has a sexy jawline, his redlips and his ugly hair, to die for. I always knew he was straight-ish until one day I asked for assistance and his pointing and talking was gay af. I was lowkey happy but also dismayed that he's fem-ish. Over time, despite him being fem, I have grown to like him. Every time nikiskia natumwa dukani I get a borner imagining seeing him. I even buy things separately so as to make extra rounds just to see him, but never talk to him. One day in my morning ride I saw him cycling past our gate as I came back home. I finally found the ice breaker... I asked him his gate number and he said haishi huko that he was just visiting a "friend" ( no one sees a friend saa moja asubuhi on a cold morning". My overthinking ahh resolved that he was fondling with some girl who lives on our road) . I was broken by the possibility of his hetereosexuality, though I still found him attractive but knew he's just straight. Now today I woke up early to cycle, nikafika some place a lil far from home and spotted him going to work. He also saw me and our eyes locked, an awkward 20seconds ensued until he waved at me nikimpita and I waved back, nikapiga corner and then turned around to admire him and boom, we locked eyes again, he was also staring at me and we smiled at each other. Later in the day I went to the minimart, bought my stuff and queued to pay , he then came out of nowhere, told me to go to his iyo kitu ya kuscan vitu za kulipa, then talked to me about how he likes my bike and my short and said how his bike iliaribika, alikuwa anablush while talking and for some reason he taught me parts of a bicycle. I paid na simu nikaenda and he called me back held my hand (aki I was immediately hard and I think he saw it) and asked "ni hii 105 umelipa, imeleta blabla[my name]" and I was like yeah, ni mimi, and he was like "ahh finally nimejua jinako, I'll see you around" and my awkward ahh didn't even ask for his name and walked out. Aki mapenzi inaniua. Is there a chance or am I just overthinking it coz I'm lovestarved and touchstarved ?
TL,DR; Haven't been in love in years, I'm in love but not certain if it's reciprocated or I'm just overcomplicating stuff
