To feel this way

I already know you will destroy me but I need to get this off my chest in the hope someone might have been here.

I've fallen for a stranger. I am 99% sure he's fallen for me too. I would have previously absolutely cringed at the soulmate thing. But Im 34 and it's happened to me for the first time in my life.

He's told someone he thinks I'm really nice and I was told he was saying lovely things about me. We don't know eachother but our eyes met across the street. Now we keep bumping into eachother and there's loads of eye contact. He never fails to talk to me. He just has to say something if he sees me. He tries to make me laugh. I've caught him smiling across at me like a puppy and just staring. Not in a creepy way. But in a warm way. If I see him I get butterflies. I just really like him but I don't really know why.

I dream about him some nights. Then I wake up thinking I don't want this feeling. Then a few hours later I am back to wanting to see him. I spend all day thinking about him. I am struggling to keep my mind off him.

I feel like he's gearing up to approach me further but he's not finding the right time. I can't really bring myself to be too direct. I wish I could be all confident and ask him out. But in this mask environment I think I'll pass on the let's meet. Also I feel it's nice for the man to do it. Because I'm a coward!

Also I have two kids and he's seen me with them and that doesn't seem to have put him off. Is that a good sign??

Ive made a deal with myself that if nothing further comes I need to forget. But I can't switch my brain off.

Has anyone else ever felt like they just know and can feel the other person's feelings? Or am I being a fairy? I literally have never experienced such a strong feeling for a stranger. Be gentle with me as this is actually a big deal for me who's not felt feelings for a long time!

If you speak to each other, just ask him for a coffee. What's the worst that could happen? He says no?

Honestly, I'm sure you've dealt with worse..

Are either of you attached? If not then go for it! There is nothing wrong with opening your heart
