Let's establish the baseline. In 2007, Jerry Seinfeld wrote, produced, and starred in an animated film in which a bee, a literal bee, with a job, with coworkers, with a commute, falls in love with a human woman named Vanessa. This movie was made. It was released in theaters. People watched it. And somewhere in that completely unhinged premise lives the most accidentally motivational message in cinematic history: if Barry B. Benson can shoot his shot across an inter-species divide that includes, among other obstacles, a size difference of approximately 99%, a completely incompatible biology, and the fact that one of them is an insect, then you have absolutely no excuse.
None. Zero. The bee had less going for him than you do and he walked up anyway.

The Bee Movie has achieved a second life on the internet that its creators almost certainly did not anticipate, meme format, copypasta, the inexplicable cultural staying power of a film that by all reasonable measures should have been forgotten by 2009. But the internet recognized something in it. Not just the absurdity, though the absurdity is real and considerable. Something in the specific energy of a small, optimistic bee who saw a human woman and thought: yes, I'll try, actually, and then tried.
That energy is transferable. That's the whole thing.

Your crush is not a different species. Your crush does not have wings and a stinger and a legal case against the honey industry. Your crush is a regular person who probably also overthinks texts and doesn't know what they want for dinner and has a slightly embarrassing playlist they'd rather you didn't see. The inter-species romance barrier does not apply to your situation. You are already ahead of where Barry started.
The fear of rejection is real. The awkwardness is real. The spiral of "what if they don't" is real and familiar and has kept more people from saying something than any reasonable calculation of risk would justify. But Barry didn't calculate. Barry just went.
The bee movie was never really about bees. It was about showing up anyway. It was about the absurd, unexplainable, completely irrational decision to try, and the fact that sometimes, against all known laws of aviation and common sense, it works.
Your move.
