is it ok for the girl to confess her feelings first???

so now that my 3 wk relationship is gone. i just realized that my secret crush that ive had since high school, just became single as well. 😀 he also was just in a very short relationship. even in high school i never confessed to liking him. but now that both of us r free. i was wondering if it would be ok to tell him my feelings? or is it true when they say if a guy wants to be with u, they will find a way? i dont want to make an ass out of my self, or get rejected. but i also dont want a perfectly good chance to pass me by. from what i can tell from him it seems as if we would really hit it off. plus he is looking for a committed relationship as well. we occasionally chat online and so far share the same interest. and agree on a lot of topics. hhhmm??? should i say something? or just sit back and wait to see if he says anything? 😕
