Liking my brother’s friend as a divorced woman

The Search

I (26f) really like my brothers friend. I saw him first when his family invited our family among 2 other families for a housewarming party.
He is exactly my type in every way possible but idk how to act on it. I am divorced and he is single (never married). If I wasnt a divorced woman I feel like it wouldve worked out but idk now.

at first I thought it was just a silly crush that you get but its been months now and I cannot get him out of my head. I even prayed tahajjud once and asked Allah to make it all a possibility.

Now my family is having me make a profile to find someone and I even made a muzz account and I hated every second of being on Muzz. Mostly, because it felt like I was, in a way, shopping for men and I hated looking at all these men and swiping left or right. I kept thinking about him and got so emotional and cried. idk what to do. I cannot outright just tell my parents or anyone for that matter that I have these feelings for him (im also extremely shy and sensitive) but also I am scared even if I do why would he want to marry me since he is single, has a good job and can find someone much better than me whoever he wants.
But at the same time I cannot get him out of my head to even try to look at other potentials and its been months that I had developed these feelings but they have only gotten more serious..

what should I do? any suggestions?
Edit: I do know his instagram account, is it stupid to dm him
