I have a big crush and I don’t know what to do

Hey all,
I’ve never posted here - I’ve always been a lurker but now I have something that I don’t feel like sharing with the people in my life.

So there’s this guy I saw on tv in a cooking contest. I started watching the show because of him. I love his character and personality along with his looks. I think he’s great and I would’ve LOVED to meet him. The problem?! He doesn’t know I exist!

I followed him on social media and he has a very low following, like a few hundred people. My dilemma now is, should I message him or not? And if yes, what do I say? I don’t want him to think I just wanna meet him just cause he was on tv. I am genuinely interested in him because he is imo really handsome and most importantly a really cool person.

I feel like if I tell my friends they will think I’m dumb but I can’t get this person out of my head. I was looking at him on tv and my heart was melting. Another thing, I’m very curvy and a bit on the heavier side and idk if that would be a turnoff for him.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Maybe it’s silly and I should just let it go, or maybe I might have a chance to meet a really nice guy.
