A crush is nothing more that an attraction one shares for another person. Usually, your crush has some adorable quality which makes you want to explore the possibility of a relationship. Whether you are a pre-teen, teenager or an adult, having a crush can be awkward when you want to tell the person that you like them. Read on to learn how how to tell your crush you like them.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Step1
Just tell them. The most direct way to get your point across is by being honest with yourself and your crush. Just tell them that you would like to know them better. Try this by asking if you could have a moment in private or maybe go to a cafe for a specialty drink.
Step2
Send them a Thinking of You card. Stop by your local store and pick up a cute card. This is a really great way to break the ice. It is inexpensive and fun. Pick a card that fits your personality.
Step3
Buy a small token of appreciation. Show your crush that you like them by buying them a small gift such as flowers, candy, a book or magazine. You can stop by and say, “I thought you might like this” or “I was thinking about you today and I decided to get you something.” Opening up to your crush helps soften the mood. Eventually, you will be able to tell them you like them.
Step4
Ask a mutual friend to intervene. If you share the same circle of friends, enlist a reliable one to help you out. Tell them that you are interested in the person.
Step5
Send an email. Email is often the most indirect and less frightening way to express all of your thoughts and emotions without physically being in the same space as your crush. Try to send a light-hearted email.
