How to Confess to Someone You Like

Dress well but don’t be too revealing. Of course, you need to look good for your upcoming confession. Just don’t dress up too much if you want to look natural, or wear a brand new “dress” if you usually wear comfortable clothes. You probably don’t want the person to think you’re trying too hard if you want to send them the right message. Just try to dress up a little more and dress better than usual – this will boost your confidence when you speak up.

Choose the right time and space. If you want to get the best results, you have to choose a time when your partner is mostly alone, in a non-stressful environment. Don’t do this between classes, the person may be surprised or feel nervous about the math test next period and get overwhelmed. Instead, choose a time when you know you can both have some privacy, like after school or at a group activity, when you know you can pull them apart and talk quickly for a while.

Tell the person that you have something to talk about. Don’t take it too seriously – just act like you’re about to ask for help with homework or something like that. Let her know that you want to talk about something in a two-person context, but without the pressure of a serious conversation. It’s better if you can be casual but not make things too casual. Just say, “Hey, I have something to talk to you about after school, just for a few minutes, okay?”

Laugh or joke to make the other person feel comfortable. You shouldn’t say, “I like you!” right because he might still be a bit uncomfortable or confused about why it’s just the two of you. Instead, put him at ease with a silly joke, “self-deprecating” or laugh more loudly about something the other person said. Laughter will put the person in a more positive and receptive state of mind about what you’re about to say.

Speak out. No need to hesitate. Once you’re alone and he’s more comfortable, you should talk about how you’re feeling, as soon as possible. This way you will be less stressed and limit the long, rambling speech. Just say in a simple and direct way, “I want to tell you that I like you” or “I really enjoy hanging out with you, and I want you to know how I feel”.

• When you speak, make eye contact and relax your body. Don’t stand too close to them, or look at the floor, or you’ll look too hungry or too indifferent.
• Use his name when you talk about your feelings. “Nam, I have something I want to tell you…” This is more intimate than just saying, “I have something to tell you”.
• Don’t prepare too much to say. You just feel more pressure.

Waiting for response. Don’t put pressure on the person right away and say, “So what do you think?” Your partner may be taken by surprise and need time to consider your words, whether they have feelings for you or not. Take a deep breath, get out of there and wait for their answer. If the answer is “Thanks for saying it” or “Can you give me a moment to think?” then he or she may think the same way you do, but it looks like they need more time. This is completely natural. If you want to increase your chances of success, after you’ve finished speaking, you should be calm.

Make love over the phone. Although talking face-to-face will make you look more confident and mature, and talking on the phone is one of the bad ways, if you’re really shy and can’t say your true feelings directly, Calling them and showing affection is the best option. Just say hello, put him/her at ease with a few common jokes or comments, then say “I have something to tell you” and then express your feelings.

• Talking on the phone makes you less nervous because you won’t be “face-to-face” with the person. If you’re nervous, though, you can move back and forth to ease your jitters.
• If you decide to talk to your crush on the phone, you can practice by calling one of your friends and rehearsing what you want to say first.

Express your love with a lovely message. Leaving a cute note in your subject’s closet, notebook, or backpack can be a great way to show it off. Just write something like, ” Hi Bao, I just wanted to say that I like you. ” Finding the right message at the right time can turn out to be a pleasant surprise — just make sure the paper is on the right side. in an easy to find place.

• Be careful with using messages – they can get lost or get passed around, and you don’t want others to receive them.

Ask him/her to hang out normally. If you’re too nervous about saying, “I like you,” you can sidestep the situation by asking them out. You could say that you have an extra ticket to a movie or show and want him to come with you, ask if they’re hungry or want a snack or coffee somewhere, or ask them to go for a walk in the park. Asking him/her to go out alone will make your feelings clear, so he/she will take the initiative if he realizes this.
