You know, I'm not sure the instant attraction when a person of your preferred sex is nice to you is actually the thing that's weird here. The difference is that a non-awkward guy, at this point, gets flirty and tries for the phone number, and an awkward guy spends 3-6 months trying to make you like him and then confesses his love via AIM.

and then confesses his love via AIM.

This is clearly the best way to confess love. Even if you are in the same room with the object thereof.
