How to Tell a Guy You Like Him

Sometimes guys can be so clueless. That's why sometimes it may fall on you to tell a guy you like him. Guys can also be tricky to deal with when it comes to these things, and telling someone that you like them is never easy. Try these ideas and see if they work for you!

Things You'll Need

Instructions

1. First of all, be reasonably sure that the guy you are interested in likes you back. How can you know? Well, if a guy likes you, he is checking you out, calling or texting you and generally looking to spend time with you. That is, unless he is really shy, and then there's more guesswork involved!

2. Don't put anything in writing, either on paper or in a text message. This way, if it doesn't work out, it's not future entertainment for his friends.

3. Guys are attracted to, and admire confidence. Try telling your crush, "You are so cute," with a confident wink of your eye, and then continue talking about whatever unrelated subject you were talking about before. Inserting your feeling about him into a neutral conversation keeps things light.

4. Another example is if your crush is talking about doing something potentially dangerous. All guys seem to talk about dangerous things at one time or another! Say, "Aw, don't do that! I like you too much to worry about that!" Then keep on with the conversation!

5. After making these statements a time or two, if your crush doesn't pick up on the fact you like him, he is either socially clueless or isn't interested. If he's not interested, DON'T take it personally. Maybe he's involved with someone already. Maybe he doesn't want any involvement with ANYBODY at all. Maybe he prefers the other gender. There are zillions of reasons that have nothing to do with you personally.

6. If he does pick up on it and wants to reciprocate, you'll be hearing from him. Don't turn into a stalker. While guys appreciate a girl who's assertive, no one likes a stalker. No one. And if you're TOO available, it can make you less desirable. Not what anyone wants to hear, but unfortunately true!

Tips & Warnings

• Do not tell a guy you like him if he already has a girlfriend. That's just not cool. Remember that you wouldn't want to date a guy who would dump his girlfriend for another girl, because that could be you someday! Keep your karma good!
