How to Let a Man Know You Like Him
When you like a man, it can be hard to get the courage to approach him. Even if you're on speaking terms, you probably want to avoid seeming desperate or pushy. Each man is different. Some will understand that you like him with the help of subtle clues. Others need a direct approach to know that you like him. Regardless of whether he likes you back, you should be able to effectively show him you like him without freaking him out.

Speak to the man you like. Before you can ever approach him romantically, you have to be on speaking terms. Compliment his clothes or hair. If you're interested in him, act like it by asking him about himself. Ask him about his career or how his day is going.

Touch him whenever appropriate. Limit the area to his arm or back, and steer clear of sensitive or romantic areas of his body. If you go up to him to say hello, touch his arm softly to get his attention. If he smiles, you'll know that your touch was welcome. Just a few pats on the arm can go a long way to letting him know you like him.

Smile often. When talking to him, make sure to look pleased and happy. Avoid fake smiles, though. Even daft men can spot a fake. Laughter is the best way to achieve a good smile, so don't be afraid to chuckle when he's being funny.

Use proper body language around the man you like. Keep your arms at your sides. Don't fold them in front of you or keep your hand on your hip as these will make you seem unhappy or closed off. Lean toward him when possible to close the gap between you. Don't slouch or wring your hands as these can be distracting.

If all else fails, be direct. If you've smiled right, touched him and leaned in close and he still doesn't get it, you'll need to come out and tell him you like him. This is best done with a simple request for a date. Be clear of your intentions, though. Using the word "date" will dispel any chance that he might think you're hanging out as friends.
