A guy from my church who friended me a while back (in addition to quite a few other people at the same time) had posted something on his blog and he was sharing it on facebook. I saw it and the title of the blog was so enticing to my curious mind that I had to click and read. The problem is that I now keep going back to his blog and reading things from it, and finding myself attracted to him and his nerdiness. We've never really talked though and I feel as though if I were to start talking to him it would be awkward whether or not I mentioned that I've been looking at his blog. How do I approach this situation? I really don't want to seem like a freak for reading his blog. I guess you could say I'm a compulsive reader, but the fact that I'm growing attracted to him makes it feel worse. So, ideas? Advice?

 I don't think you're a freak at all, he posted it on facebook allowing all his friends to read it!
If you want to speak to him further, just message him and say that you really enjoyed reading his blog because you felt inspired/you could relate to it/you laughed really hard at certain bits, then let the conversation go from there. Just take it slow and see what happens!
