What can it hurt?
"I'm going to be honest: when I first heard about the female boxer from Australia, I hardly paid attention. That changed when I saw you fight for the first time; you changed my life. I was raised in foster care and bullied my entire life, even as an adult. I'm an awkward geek who is usually scared of his own shadow and rarely knows what to do or say in most situations. The confidence I saw in you made me feel strong. You have inspired me to be proud of who I am and not focus on my flaws. I have dreamt about meeting you in person, but I never thought it would actually happen, so I settled for coming here to watch you fight. I know it's crazy, but I'm in love with you."
