I think ur thinking this over way to much. Is that guy ur talking about in real life a creep or something? Maybe u guys can hit it off , im certain he'll appreciate it if you express your thoughts. who knows maybe you really are soul mates .
Maybe he had the same dream but didn't have the guts to tell you either.
Either way , u got nothing to lose. Or do you? i don't know , i'll pray for ur happy end.
