when do i tell him that i 'like' him?I met a boy recently- I've had a meal with him a couple of times... and I have a feeling that I am starting to 'like' him (sorry- somehow the word fancy just doesn't come out of my mouth.... bear with me).
Soooo.... Should I tell him now? or should I tell him after a few more meetups? -

Re: when do i tell him that i 'like' him?that is true... but would that make things awkward for either of us if he ended up saying that he wasn't interested?(Original post by farrow000)
You don't use your mouth to type but anyway I think you should tell him, you won't find out unless you ask.
I still want to be friends with him even if this doesn't go thru -

Re: when do i tell him that i 'like' him?It's okay to tell him you like him! You can even mention it in a casual, light-hearted way, if you find that easier.(Original post by Anonymous)

Saying you like someone is not like declaring your everlasting love for him, or starting to speculate out loud about the wedding and what your kids will look like with him as the father
.
Just do it whenever you feel most comfortable. If the evening is going really great, and you're at ease with the other, you will probably find that there's a moment when you can slip it into the conversation. And if you do, at least you'll know if his feelings are along the same lines! Which is better than being all nervous about it for ages. -

I think the main problem for me is that he is so nice to me- and i don't know if he is just like that to everyone or if he is trying to give me a sign... -

That's the thing, isn't it? It's impossible to tell, so at that stage of getting to know the other, there's so much guessing and wondering and it's very frustrating. He may just be a really nice guy (which is good), or he may be extra nice to you because he really likes you (which would also be good).
You're not going to find out if he's giving you signs unless he's either very, very clear about it, or unless you take that next step.
It's scary, sure, but better than trying to analyse everything for who knows how long! -

Re: when do i tell him that i 'like' him?I think you should tell him but I am in the exact same situation and I am finding it so difficult.
I am afraid to tell him because:
a) I don't know if he feels the same
b) We have lots of mutual friends and I don't want to make a fool out of myself.
c) We see each other most days and it would be so so awkward.
It's a tricky one but I've got to the point now where I can't stop thinking about it and I just want to know.
Let us know what you do xzx -

Re: when do i tell him that i 'like' him?Okay- looks like I will simply have to tell him when I next see him- which will either be later this afternoon or after I come back from holiday in a month...
I will tell all if it happens this afternoon(Original post by Anonymous)
Let us know what you do xzx
Also- now he has not texted me back for about 24hours..... kinda worried :/ -
