it's all make believe, isn't it?

I wonder if it's possible to fall for someone via tumblr.
I'm actually considering abandoning blogger for tumblr- and no, not so he can see what I write. It seems easier and more fun to use, because a tumblr doesn't automatically mean it will be filled with words that, really, mean nothing at all.
This particular guy is whimsical, and romantic, and propelled by a faith that there is a deeper meaning to life, and his words, although simple, spark magic on my computer screen. It doesn't hurt that he's also easy on the eyes in real life either- I knew him once. Or I knew of him? We shared a space in time once but neither took that leap to know the other. He's a friend of a friend, and our mutual friend asked me to get his attention; he'd apparently been moping for a couple of months, after he'd broken up with his girlfriend who was apparently (I use the word 'apparently' far too often) too cool for him. I think our friend's definitions of both 'moping' and 'cool' could use some updating. But this never eventuated because anyone who knows me knows I'm too shy to actually maintain a conversation with a guy, or a girl, or even a teacher, with whom I've not been previously familiar.
He writes about language, and the way he interacts with others, and little things he notices- like the moment during a summer's day when the cool wind stops for a bit and there's just sunshine and warmth- and quirky pictures. I appreciate it immensely, and don't think I could ever be good enough for anyone so wonderful. But then I think, I'm falling for his words alone. He declares that he's quiet, not shy, and while I find this extremely attractive, I don't think that could work if both parties are like that.
SIGH. C'est la vie.
