Hey, I'm a femboy (been seen as a girl multiple times in public due to my body shape, hair, and face) and I recently confessed to my childhood friend.He's not that great looking but he's always been there for me. When my bully who was friends with him made him choose to be friends between me and him, my friend chose me. When I became depressed he always lightened my day. And I honestly didn't even realized I had a crush on him until a little over a year ago.
So I confessed to him, and he responded by telling me that while he thought I was cute, he never considered me an option, but he said we could give it a shot. Fast forward about half a year and I'm starting to feel insecure about myself. I feel like he's just dating me to make me happy and I don't know how I can ask him about it/show how much I care for him. Any advice?
