Okay let's make one thing clear first: I wouldn't even have dreamt about this move

. It is really interesting. I love it, I like games where new things happen and everything looks spontanesous and natural, not mechanic.
However I really had to think about this for a long time. I have no clue if my move is good, but it is the best i could come up with.
I am going to show you first, why I did not play any other moves I considered:
This could be one outcome. But I did not like it that much because my top right corner seems too lonely right now. I can't find good moves for the situation there. But I of course do get something for 7, but it does not give me such a good feeling since I cannot push him down very well with 7 or similiar moves, and, if I could, I would still face his hoshi.

Another move I did not like that much is 1 here. I don't know how this would go actually, but it probably will be something like the following. Now his move seems to be great. Maybe this is what he wants:

So I decided to play the move above and pressure and enclose his corner. I need to do this in sente and then approach his 4-4 stone on the left. Maybe like this:

This is also not a situation that feels great but I cannot think of a better move than 1. And it still feels alright to me.
It could also go this way:

I don't feel I can put much pressure on his stones on the right side, but it does give me something to attack and make profit with. I would love to play 7 at a but it does not seem to work because of him answering at b.
Note: I won't show how it does not work, I think this goes too much into detail, which is not really bad but in my opinion, (and this goes to the weaker players especially) it sometimes is nice to read such things on your own. I will leave out many sequences in the course of the play because of this.
Move 7 and this game becomes a little difficult and interesting. I like it
