Teen Boy Asked for Advice About Dating a Transgender Girl and It’s Beyond Adorable
eddit claims to be the front page of the Internet, but we all know that it can also be a giant cesspool of negativity and weirdness.
Every once in a while though, Reddit affords us a truly lovely, heartwarming tale, and this is exactly one of those instances.
Being a teenager is hard enough, so when you're a teenager in love?! Things are the worst (slash best). This is the harrowing story of a teenager in love, only there's one more complicated level to the story: The girl he likes is trans.
Twitterer Eric Francisco brought the adorable story to our attention.
Lots of people go to Reddit for advice. Here, a 17-year-old boy is asking for advice about how to ask out a trans girl at his school who he has a major crush on.
As Francisco points out, the kid is actually a great writer, which just makes this all the more precious.
Here's his story in full:
“I can’t even begin to explain how absolutely and painfully beautiful this girl is,” the lovesick puppy writes. But he recognizes that he might make things very hard for both of them if he just straight up asks her out.
Unfortunately, trans folks still face a lot of prejudice and discrimination. High school is already an adolescent nightmare, and this only complicates things further.
But this boy is head over heels for this girl, as he so eloquently continues to explain:
“She’s so talented,” he wrote. “It was portrait week and we got paired up. We did each others [sic] portraits and it was MAGICAL. It was like a Jack and Rose moment, except nobody was naked and neither of us died.”
This kid is so deeply in love with this girl, and he has a sense of humor! He’s a keeper.
He said he's asking for advice because he knows the second "word spreads" about them hanging out with each other, his friends will treat him terribly. "I couldn't be friends with people who make fun of my girl friend," this knight-in-shining-armor wrote.
His older sister advised him not to ask her out to avoid drama, but his little brother had the best advice: “Bring her flowers to school on valentines day because he bets no other guy has given her flowers before.”
Are you just melting into a puddle on the floor? We'll wait while you pull yourself together.
Obviously, this is a tough situation for a teenage boy, and so he turned to Reddit for advice.
Although the post was eventually deleted for weird Reddit reasons, the Internet came to his aid with an avalanche of reactions and advice…
