On Thursday, the internet fell in love with a teen seeking advice for dating a trans girl.

The now deleted post was written by 17-year-old Reddit user azure-skies, who eloquently professed a deep crush on a trans girl at his high school.

He turned to the internet for advice on how to ask her out, while also expressing concerns over the teasing they both might endure.

His middle school brother gave him solid advice, and suggested he buy her flowers for Valentine's Day.

Already a better love story than "Twilight."

The internet quickly became invested in the budding love story.

There is a 17yo boy on Reddit asking advice how to ask out a trans girl at school. It is absolutely heartwarming, and also he’s a really good writer? https://t.co/vPf2Ajnubn pic.twitter.com/CC3SnNssL7

“It was like a Jack and Rose moment, except nobody was naked and neither of us died.”

This guy is going to write the next great TV sitcom. Seriously.

If this kid were a character in an indie film everyone would hate him because he is IMPOSSIBLY sweet and clever.

"At this point I feel like even if Gollum lived in her pants I'd some how find that cute."

I want to be best friends with him. pic.twitter.com/QCJHTcuUbH

I want to be his Annie Potts who just sasses and provides questionable guidance with a good heart.

He should just go for it. Worst case scenario he’ll know who his true friends are when the dust clears.

The story took the internet by such a storm that eventually Laverne Cox weighed in with some advice for the teen.

The Orange is the New Black actress, model and overall icon laid on some loving truth.

Omg if I could advise this young man I would say that life is so much bigger than high school and if this young woman makes you as happy as it seems you must go towards that happiness. Love sets us free. Make her feel as special as she is & as you see her. #transisbeautiful https://t.co/gfdWjDAyD2

Hopefully he sees Laverne's advice and takes heed. And selfishly for the rest of us, hopefully the internet is blessed with more heart melting updates.
