Step 1
Decide what you want to say, how you want to say it, and when and where you want to say it. Preparing a small speech beforehand will ease some of the tension. It will also keep you from stuttering or mumbling, and possibly looking awkward in front of your crush. Furthermore, choose an opportune moment and place for your confession, such as when the two of you are alone together in a private location.

Step 2
Make sure that you are emotionally ready to take this important step. It is imperative that you realize there is always the possibility of rejection. If your crush doesn't return the sentiment, you might find yourself extremely hurt or disappointed. Before you actually tell him how you feel, give yourself plenty of time to reflect on your decision.

Step 3
Prepare for her reaction. She may or may not feel the same way. Hopefully, your crush will respond in kind. However, anticipating a possible rejection will help to lessen feelings of disappointment. In contrast, getting your hopes up will make a rejection that much more painful.

Step 4
Tell him how you feel. You can either say it directly, write him a note, or ask him out on a date. This is the hardest step, but you'll be relieved once it's over. Luckily, there is more than one way of divulging your feelings for another person. You can write him a cute little note, or ask a mutual friend to break the news. You can also ask him out on a traditional date, like dinner and a movie, and then tell him that you would like to date exclusively.

Step 5
Accept her response in a dignified manner. No matter what she says, accept it gracefully and thank her for being honest. If she tells you that she is not interested, it would be best not to dwell on it and try to move on.
