How to Tell a Man You Like Him

You know he could be Mr. Right, but at the moment he's just a friend. What could be more frustrating? Follow these steps to tell him how you feel.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Use body language to let a man know that you like him romantically. Hold his gaze with your eyes, or flash a dazzling smile in his direction.

2. Express intense interest by focusing all of your attention on him. Appeal to his ego and make him feel as though he's the most important man in the world.

3. Send signals of your romantic interest in him by flirting.

4. Create an opportunity to be alone together - nothing as serious as dinner, because if the evening doesn't go as planned, you will have to sit through the entire meal wondering why you let yourself get into this situation.

5. Be lighthearted about it. Tell him that you think you're interested in him romantically - tell him why, and just leave it at that. Now it's his move.

6. Wait until the right moment to talk about your romantic interest in him.

7. Remember that either way, you will learn from this experience. If he returns your affection, it could be the start of a great romance; if not, it's better to know now rather than pining over Mr. Wrong, when Mr. Right is out there somewhere.

Tips & Warnings

• A touch of humor can go a long way. Keep your tone light while letting him know that your message is sincere.
• Avoid the possibility of creating an embarrassing moment in public for yourself ' and for him. Express your feelings in private just in case the feelings are not mutual.

on 1/4/2009 You won't have to tell a man that you like him verbally, he will know by your body language. As you talk to him, touch him lightly on his hand, arm or shoulder. He will know by the way you look at him when he talks to you, they know, wouldn't you?
