I Like a Guy Totally Different From Me
19/F
So I live on campus and the floor of my dorm is mixed/co-ed. There's a boys dorm room down the hall, a triple (meaning it has three occupants)and I have a crush on one of the guys living there. For the sake of this question I'll call him Q. So Q and I have the same group of friends for the most part because our floor is all really friendly freshman and we make a point to get together for meals and games and things so we all spend a lot of time together. I first noticed I might like him when I mentioned to my friend that I like the way he speaks (Weird, I know). I feel weird about liking Q though because we're really different. He prefers horror and he's really well versed in history and science whereas I really like comedy and animated movies and I'm more geared towards English and art. He's not a "jock" by any means but he makes a point to stay active whereas I'm more of a Netflix and snacks kind of person. He seems to prefer being alone a lot of the time whereas while I can be alone, I always prefer the company of one or more people. The list goes on. I think what puts me off most though is that I'm not experienced in relationships while he is. When we all first met one girl was really interested in getting to know us and asked about our relationships. Everyone shared and showed pictures and we all noticed that while Q is single currently, his past girlfriends have all been really beautiful. We joke a lot that everyone has a "type" and that his is girls who look like models. That just made it more awkward for me though when I realized I liked him (as I hadn't noticed at the time)because if I were to ask him out in any way, I'd be coming up to him with no experience in relationships, few common interests, and the knowledge that I'm not exactly the type that he's normally go for. I wasn't planning on acting on it but it starts to eat at me sometimes when I talk to him because despite our differences, we get along pretty well and I'm worried I may blurt it out one day. I'm honestly so confused.

We all have our type that we love the most but that doesn't mean that exceptions don't happen. Don't let this bother you. All those differences that you mentioned, I think they're cute. Being different is not a turn off. It can actually be very intriguing. Just be yourself and try to be more confident around him so he can see how amazing you are just being proud of who you are and maybe that will intrigue him into becoming interested in you.
