I hate feelings 😩😩

Okay so I am an equestrian event rider and I compete at a fairly high level (this is relevant I promise😂). I am very picky when it comes to guys and I haven’t had any feelings towards a guy for at least 3 years. So there’s this guy that has been competing in the same class as me and I’ve paid much attention to him nor really known who he is. So anyways I won an event a couple of months ago and he placed second so came and stood next to me for presentations. That was when I really notice him and thought (dang he ain’t bad at all). Then the event before that I thought he was even more attractive but haven’t really spoken to him at all or had anything to do with him. So anyways, the event that just passed I actually spoke to him a bit during our warm up etc and during presentations we were joking around as well and omg I think I’m catching feelings for him hard 😩 he doesn’t really go on social media and I only ever see him at events but we’ve never actually had anything to do with each other before this weekend passed. Our next event isn’t for another 3.5 weeks and we’re not even going to be in the same class as I’ve moved up!!! I hate catching feelings because I feel like I’ve never got a chance. I need some advice, I feel like there is a spark there and I really want to get to know him but don’t want to be weird. Argh what do I do? This is the worst 😩😂 I’m so scared I don’t have a chance but fuck I like him I really want the get closer to him.
