It is difficult to admit to someone that you are into them because of the risk of embarrassment.It can make you feel out of control if you give someone that kind of information about your emotions.You can tell someone you like them with a little practice and planning.
Step 1: Be confident.
It's important to show confidence when you tell someone how you feel.How will you make your crush feel if you are timid and unsure?He or she won't want to be with someone who is not sure.Smiling is one of the easiest ways to show confidence.A relaxed, natural smile will impress others.
Step 2: Stay calm.
When you admit your feelings, don't panic.It is easy to lose your cool in this situation, but you have to remain calm.It won't help your case if you panic and are nervous.Focus on your breathing if you start to feel panicked.Take deep breaths.Pretend you are talking to someone you don't like.It will be easier to talk to them.
Step 3: Keep it simple.
Let them know how you feel about them, but don't act like they're the most important thing in the world.Let them know what's going on and why you feel that way.It may make your partner uncomfortable if you discuss huge relationship commitments.
Step 4: Allow yourself to be into it.
Don't jump into that subject right away.You should start talking about something that happened that day and then talk about your feelings after that.If you give your crush some time, they won't be surprised or caught off guard when you tell them how you feel.Talking about cute or funny things will make you more comfortable.Tell your crush that your brother did something funny or that you want to see a new movie.
Step 5: Say what's on your mind.
Tell your crush you like them.Just say it.They will never know if you don't tell them.Tell them how you are feeling.I want you to know that I like you, and I have been thinking about you a lot.
Step 6: Don't put pressure on them.
You should tell the person you like that you don't expect anything in return, just to let them know how you feel.They can have some time to think about what you said, without being pressured to respond immediately.Don't ask, "So, how do you feel about me?" when you're done expressing yourself.It's up to them when to let you know.Accept their answer and move forward if they say no.Don't make a big deal of how you really feel.That is great if they say they like you as well.Don't make them feel like they owe you a response.You could ask them out if they say yes.You should just be friends if you're younger.
Step 7: An appropriate time is chosen.
There are many things that can go wrong when you expose your feelings.Take some time to think about how you will minimize these negative possibilities.You can choose when the person is alone.You should be alone when this happens because it is a private matter between you.You don't want the object of your affection to have to think about how to react in front of other people.Take your crush's schedule into account.When they are busy and stressed, don't tell them how you feel.This might make them respond in a more negative way.
Step 8: Pick the correct location.
An intimate setting is a place where both of you are comfortable.When you admit that you like them, you want your crush to be at ease.Choosing a place that you both enjoy and feel comfortable in can make a big difference in how someone will receive news like this.When you are alone in your car, try telling them in a park near your house.
Step 9: You can do it in person.
Don't tell them in a text or phone.When talking to him/her, keep eye contact and tell them how you feel.It is more meaningful to do it in person because you will be able to gauge their reaction.Sending a text or writing a note may be a better option if you stutter or get sweaty.You can think about what you want to say before you say it.Texting is a last resort to tell someone how you feel.Try something like, "Hey, I like you," if you have to send a text.Unless you feel it is necessary, don't ask someone else to tell you about it.If you ask someone else to tell you how you feel about your crush, they will not spread rumors about you.
Step 10: Don't expect a lot.
Nothing is certain.The object of your affection may not return your feelings.You should not tell them only to get a positive response.It's nice to know that people like you and your crush will appreciate your honesty no matter what.Don't be discouraged if they have nothing to say in response to how you feel.
Step 11: If they say they don't return your feelings, react well.
If they let you know how they feel about you, but not the same way, don't stress it and make the mistake of taking it back.If they don't feel the same, just move on.It's important to react with grace.It negates all of the nice things you just said if you say something mean in response.It will eliminate any chance of your crush liking you in the future.Don't get upset in front of your crush or indulge in a pity party.
Step 12: Give it some time.
Sometimes people need to think about their feelings and make a decision.It can take time to develop strong emotions.It is possible that they will change their minds in the future.Try to act as if nothing has changed.They will have a chance to see you in a different light.
