Sometimes you’ve got to put your heart on the table and hand someone a butcher’s knife. Risk getting hurt. I don’t know how people get into romantic relationships without taking risks. You’ve got to find someone you can be your normal dorky self with or who wants to push past the barrier of you trying to play it cool. Sometimes it seems like a miracle two people ever fall in love and have a relationship.
