telling somebody you like them., =) Options

[-sincerely]

thanks. yeah going off to guidance (the people who handle the schedules) to ask for some guy's schedule would seem awkward haha.

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

tell him :-)

[-sincerely]

hehe, i hope i can.
the thing is, i think he's ignoring me now.
we were typing at the same time, and his g2g came in first.
and then came quickly along my, "i gotta tell you something thats kind of hard for me to say."
so, i'm not sure now. =\

[iheartsimba]

k so..i don't know that over AIM is the best approach to an I like you, thing. I think..you need to start talking to this boy on the phone! that's how i always do it =] eventually maybe you could start talking on a daily basis, and it's reeeally easy to tell them then. just ask question sort of leaning toward an "i like you" but not entirely..like "what kind of girls do you like" i usually fall for guys like you" it's a lot easier to come out when it's more indirect until you can get to it directly. then if he keeps talking to you and giving you similar messages back..it's so much easier to tell him you like him if he's giving you the same idea back. just i wouldn't let it be a shock to him, because sometimes people freak out when they are rushed into deciding if they might feel the same. so yeah, that's my thoughts

[-sincerely]

Thanks. It's his birthday today. heh. I was about to ask him if he wanted to hang out because he has no birthday plans, but his mom was yelling at him. Its so hard to find the right time with him. Maybe I'll ask my friends for his number.

I don't know your crush, but if he's similiar to my crush, it's somewhat a good thing. Meaning he can read people easily. Not good when you want to shy away from him, but good when you want him to know something is up. Anyway, my crush found out that I liked him when I didn't even want him to know that I like him. Like I said one simple sentence and he kinda guessed it was true. This is what I said when we were alone in his car when he took me out to buy some stuff, "I was worried that you liked -my best friends name-". I said that when he asked me what type of guys I liked, when we talked about my best friend who likes this jerk. So yea, from that, he guessed. It was a slip, but then I seriously didn't think he will take it more than anything and would read it wrong (well, wrong in the sense that it allowed him to know the truth!). Eventually he forced the truth out of my best friend, so yea.

All I'm trying to say is that if you want him to know, say it casually as if it's not on purpose. Only if he can read people well though! But since you actually want him to know, I suggest casually telling him, but not so indirectly like the way I did.

I hope you get what I mean. It's kind of confusing to explain the suggestion I'm trying to provide you with. Best of luck =) I will always stop by to see how it's going. It reminds me a bit of myself.

[-sincerely]

Heh, thanks. :) I'd rather indirectly tell him, then directly tell him. Well, it doesn't really matter, actually. It's just the approach I'm bad with.

[seremela_culnamo]

I get what you mean by approaching him is hard. I find it hard to approach my crush, especially when he wants to talk. I just found out awhile ago how he's always asking my friends about me.

By the way, do you think there's any chance that he might have a feeling that you like him? It's nothing big, I'm just asking out of curiousity.

[-sincerely]

Some days you can really tell, and some days you cannot, but overall I think he does.

[babiexmuii]

personallyyy i go for the timid innocent girl approach
likeee the way i did was just "i think i kinda like you"
so its straightforward no doubt but its sweeet.
or just be like.
hey you're cool im cool lets get together mannn

haha idk just flow with it

[-sincerely]

rofl the, "hey you're cool i'm cool let get together, man" thing made me laugh. I'm just really scared to see what he says, I guess.

[GREASEbaby]

Just be friendly. Invite him places, and just HANG OUT. Ask him out, it's not as hard. Remember me? The shy girl? I asked a guy out (who was a VERY close friend of mine, on a scale of 1-10, 9 1/2, btw ), and it actually turned into a two+ month relationship. Just go for it. I believe in you And you may be wondering where you say, "hey I like you". That's the awesome part - you don't have to say those words. He'll eventually get the hint.

[-sincerely]

Thanks.
I'm so bad, hehe. I'm not going to be here tomorrow, and I slept over my friends house a few nights ago. I gave her his sn, and I told her to IM him when he signs on and say something like, "this is Ashley's friend. Her sn was still linked so I got her sn. You know she really likes you?" she's going to then call me to tell me what he says, and we'll play it by ear like that. ;) Once he knows, I'll have more confidence in asking him out, I think.

[seremela_culnamo]

Hmm, are you sure about this? I got my friend who didn't know my crush to tell him for me on MSN about me liking him (back in grade 9). All he did was tell her that he only liked me as a friend. Any more than that? Nope. He didn't say anything important to her after that. So regardless of whether or not he likes you back, he's not really going to open up to your friend. It's really unlikely he would, because it will be a total stranger and he doesn't know who she is. So for all he thinks, he might be talking to some girl who he might not be able to trust, since she might take things the wrong way. I hope you get what I mean. If you really want a friend to tell him for you online, get someone who knows him. Or at school.

[-sincerely]

Hhmmm. You have a point. Now I'm not sure if I'm going to have her do that. I won't be online at all tomorrow, and I do want him to know before break ends... =\

[seremela_culnamo]

Hmm, I know it's really hard, scary and uncomfortable to talk to a guy you like about anything that's related to you liking him. Is there no way that you can't reach him on the phone or something? If you really want him to know, you can always write him a letter. I'm that type of person, though people really think I should confront and talk things through with my crush (he knows though, and he's doing the pursuing, if you read my latest thread). Anyway, if you do, and you want to give it to him personally, but you can't, you can always get a friend who will be seeing him to give it to him. But since it's the break, he's probably not always around. So if you really want, I think it will be really cute if you write him a note, go to his house when you know he's home, drop off the letter and ring the doorbell. Then run for it & hide in the bushes to see whether or not he got it. Or even better, he opens it! Okay, I was just kidding about the bushes part, I think. But if you ever do something like that, there's a chance of someone from his family getting to it first. Unless you write something on the envelope about being directed towards him and nobody else. & if you're scared that someone will read it and know it's you, which I'm sure you will sign with your name, is there a nickname he has for you that nobody knows? Or anything that will give a dead on clue that it's you, but nobody in his family would know of?

[-sincerely]

If I knew where he lived, I'd be probably the happiest person ever. Haha. See, I don't want people knowing I like him until he knows first, unless its a close friend of mine. Infact, only two of my friends know, and one friend blabbed it to somebody on accident, but the person she blabbed it to is my friend, as well, and she promised to keep it a secret. I really have to tell him the next time he's on.

"Do you promise we'll always be friends?"
"Yes why...."

Then I tell him. Does that sound, idk, childish or something?

[QUELZ]

If you reaaaaaaaly like someone never ever ever ver tel that person by emial trust me on this one i did it and it wasnt a fun experiant

[seremela_culnamo]

That can be a way to tell him, about asking him that you guys will always be friends first. It will sound more natural that way, but if you do start things off like that, you musn't chicken out. If you do, he will know something is going on.

Good luck with that =) Hope all goes well!

[-sincerely]

Thanks. (= I think starting it out like that will make the words flow more natural for myself.

[-sincerely]

Cupid (12:59:49 PM): Cupid Strikes! hisscreenname guessed correctly that you sent the IM crush. Surprise other friends with an IM crush by typing crush now or type menu for more fun.

[-sincerely]

Ok, so after that he signed on then off really quickly, do you think he is ignoring me now?

[AznChollo15]

i think, online chat would be way easier, smoother, and releases alot of tension. goin up 2 him n tellin him how u feel. i began a relationship by jus hangin out with her n we started 2 talk on the phone, we became very good friends and then it became official,(relationship), im so happy. i hope u will be 2. good luck. i hope im not 2 late replying

[AzNxBaBi]

Wow, so you guys met at a play thing? Oh dear that's exactly like me. I know for sure the guy i like likes me back. But like stupid me I want him to make the first move and i'm not sure if i'm ready so yeah. And i've only met him for about 3 months too. Lol Anyways back to you, face to face approach is best but it's hard right? I mean to look at someone and tell them you like them is weird. But On AiM that's just kind of awkward but it's better if you are a shy person. I think the guy you like seems to be a very busy person. So if you by chance tell him when you see him "i need your help on something get online today" or something. But don't make it so obvious cause like he probably avoid if you think he is ignoring you.

I'm still dealing with mines, he wants me to tell him who i like but i'm like ahhh. Lol
Just take your time, there is no reason to rush. Don't have doubts like me and don't let yoruself get pressure because of a crush. :] Best of luck.

Haha what a similar situation.
Well, I know he knows I like him. I sent him a crush with the AIM bot Cupid, and he guessed it was me. And the weird thing -- you only get a limited amount of guesses. So idk if the clues gave me away, or if he wanted it to be me, or whatever. So next time he's on (I was in the shower when it happened, so when I returned to the computer he was off) I guess I'll talk to him about what happened. Tomorrow's school, I hope he doesn't tell anybody.
