Know When to Tell Someone You Like Them
This is an article on knowing when to tell someone that you like them without being embarrassed and left in, or even out of the friend-zone.
Steps
- Have self confidence. Remember, if you never tell this person you like them, you're risking never knowing if they like you and could miss out on a wonderful relationship. You might regret this in the future.
- Spend some time together. Make sure you sincerely like them, to avoid an awkward relationship.
- Find somewhere you and this person can be alone together, even if you're just behind the crowd talking to each other.
- Get comfortable with the person. Get to know them better.
- Go with your gut. If you're already friends with the someone and you would much rather stay friends forever, don't break your friendship because you're afraid of making it awkward between the two of you. See where it goes first, then decide.
- If you are friends but not in regular contact then, you have to get them to interact with you and then you have to be with them to then tell them how you feel.
- It will probably be a moment where you're talking alone with this person when you can say "I was wondering, do you like me? Because I like you." If you don't do this, you risk being forever in the friend-zone, or not being in a zone at all. Do NOT attempt this over an online chat, or over the phone. This makes the situation even more awkward than it needs to be. Telling your crush that you like them in person benefits the both of you, as you get to see their genuine reaction.
- It might feel like there never is a time to tell them. And for all we know, there's never a good time to tell someone you like them. It will probably be awkward even if they like you back. But it sure is awesome if they do!
- Always tell the truth to them Be honest; everyone likes somebody who will tell them the truth, even if that's not exactly what they wanted to hear.
- Don't go straight out and ask your crush do they like you. That would make the situation very awkward for your crush and he/she would probably try to avoid you.
- Become good friends with your crush and get to know them.
- Compliment them and make it clear that you admire and appreciate them.
- Some playful teasing is ok but never be mean or cruel and then act as if it was a joke because that will only turn them off of you.
- Hug them at lunchtime or something, but not every hour of the day
- Text them a little bit after you saw each other. Say something like, "I had a great day, good night." This let's them know that you enjoyed your day with them. By dropping this type of hint, it also makes it a bit easier to tell them that you like them.
Tips
- Don't be afraid of the outcome. Better to take a risk than have regret.
- Telling in privacy is the best way as you will feel more confident.
- You do not have wait for the "Right Time" to tell someone you like them. It may never happen. Just go ahead tell him/her whether you're at work, at home, anywhere in the world.
- If you really like that person, don't be afraid.
- If they don't like you, they don't like you, The end. Nothing you can do about it. But if they do like you, then you get to be with them! But if you never tell them, you'll never know if you have a chance. You will never know what you can accomplish if you don't give it a try. So give it a try!
- If you feel you're at the "Right Time" go for it.
- Never tell them online, it makes them think you don't have the guts to tell them in person!
- Best way to tell is the simple way,"I have been thinking of you a lot lately and I like you" or something.
Warnings
- Give them some personal space to think on how they feel about you.
- Space is the best thing if they don't like you back.
- telling that you like them even though they don't.
- Do not harass them asking how they feel about you. This will irritate them.
Things You'll Need
- Confidence
- Knowing you basically have nothing to lose
- Someone to comfort you if you're rejected and you feel you need someone by your side.
- A mouth, so you can go for it!
