He's so beautiful

I'm involved in the community theatre in the town I live in and there's a guy who I've had a crush on for about a year now. I don't have the balls to tell him so mainly because I don't want to scare him off. I only get to see him a couple of times a month and during the times I don't get to see him Im miserable. He's white I'm black. I have arthristis and he's able bodied. I have a hard time looking him in the eye when I talk to him. When I see him I try to think of things to talk about to him and my mind goes blank. Then a hour later or a day later I think of something I could have said to him and I kick myself for not saying it. In a couple of weeks I'm auditioning for a play that he's directing. I first joined the theatre because I want to get back on stage so badly and for the first season I didn't audition for anything because I let my self doubt get the best of me. It's been 18 years since I've been in a play and I want this guy to think that I'm a talented, cool, sexy woman who can act. I will audition for this play even if that little voice inside my head tells me I'm wasting my time.

" Sometimes that little voice can be your worst enemy, lol. You don't need that guy to think you are talented, sexy, and cool and can act, you know that about yourself already. Trying to impress always backfires, so just have fun with it.I bet it feels good to be back on that stage. Good luck with the audition! "
