How can I tell him I like him without sounding stupid?

[Sora_Rakka23]

There's this guy I really like, and I'm pretty sure he likes me back, but I'm really scared to tell him I like him, in case he doesn't. Is there a way that I can tell him without sounding like an idiot from nervousness? We talk online a lot, so I figured it would be easier and less pressuring to tell him on IM... Please help if you can....

Asking someone to go steady should be done in person. If you don't, it leaves a bad impression.

My best suggestion: Just spit it out. Half the battle in pre-relationships is embarrassment and fear. Go about your day normally and stick a confession in when you feel it would fit.

Hmm, first of all this is the wrong section for this I think.

But and answer to your question. Just ask him. Just be blunt with it, or try to be obvious. Trust me, with girls I've been so passive and never giving out hints in which I live in a lament time period with, which I am starting to get over as I get more social.

If something turns out and you guys don't hook up, you'll feel better than if you didn't and you just drift apart--it hurts more than not even getting started and then knowing it won't work out.

And yeah, get ready for heartbreak if you do hook up--there's always a posibility.

2. Thanks. I'll prepare myself mentally beforehand in case it doesn't work out.

well you could always give him STRONG signs that you liked him..

Honestly if other guys are like me, then we men are straight up stupid and thick.
If you want him to know, the best approach (IMHO) would be flat out telling him, however don't over do it...(just in case)

Then all you can do is hope for the best

G'luck!

Walk up to them and say the first thing that comes to mind. It works.

I don't know about that Jaso... It'd be like "What the %$@ am I doing here"

[Jaso]

It works

[ChristopherArmalite]

heh, from personal experience, I can certainly say that Jaso's method doesn't work...ever

[Toshihiko]

Yeah...

First thing that comes in you mind...........

NO WAY !

I don't know if this is gonna help you get stonger and more secure, but...


- Try to keep eye contact.
- Try not to mumble the line into your shoes, or saying it so quick that you're obliged to repeat yourself because he didn't quite catch it.
- It's a good idea to know roughly what you're going to say and when, but don't make it a military manouevre. Let a little spontaneity rule the moment.
- Keep an open mind about his response.
