I have a similar thing and something I realized about 2 years ago: everyone's just people. Genders have different tendencies for generalized thinking patterns and behavior patterns but men are just women with different genitals and vice versa, as goes for all other genders.
The differences that exist are quite something to get used to, but there aren't a lot of them, and the only way to treat your crush is like a best friend that is very open and maybe also has sex with you.
As a guy, getting used to talking about feelings and being open is still hard, but I'm getting better at it. I'm just not as attractive so I have yet to notice someone being physically attracted to me, and only handful have been interested in me at all. Nevertheless, I'm learning and losing inhibitions, and that's the most important thing.
