My brain has recently started crafting entire fictional scenarios of me and someone together the moment we shared a slightest emotional connection?

I recently “met” a trans-masc person I’ve been playing DnD with for over a year and a half. Up until now, we were just “guys” hanging out—nothing more, nothing less. I’ve been boymoding, so no one really knew I was MtF, but at our last session, I had my nails painted in the trans flag, and that’s when things changed.

They immediately started messaging me, and we’ve been talking non-stop ever since. I learned more about who they really are, and somehow, that’s stirred up all these unexpected emotions in me. I never had feelings for them before, but now my brain won’t stop spinning with scenarios, and I have no idea why.

It’s confusing because I’ve always been more into women, but my heart and mind seem to be saying something different. I don’t know what this feeling is—I’ve never felt like this before.
