““I'm really hoping he’s being genuine because I can already tell he isn't the kind of guy a girl gets a simple crush on. He’s the kind of guy you fall hard for, and the thought of that terrifies me.

I also don’t want to fall for someone who has already branded himself hopeless. But I'm curious. So curious.””
