He/She'll never tell you they like you. Will you then?

Lol I'm totally in this position right now, I'm no sure whether he'll ever say anything, or if it will have to be me, and everytime I convince myself I have to say something I never do because eventually it comes down to him being the boy and traditional values and all that stuff.

Also I'm friends with him, so if he orally did not see me in that way, it would be major cringe and end of our friendship...

I had the exact same thing with a close friend... I told him I liked him on a night out and he just sorta shrugged..... it was very akward for the first couple of days but we soon got back to how we were before.... I would say go for it, so that at least you finally know but it sucks in my case cause even though i now know it will never happen I cant stop having feelings for him :P

I'd say (and have done before) just so I wasn't keeping anything from her.

How did you tell her/bring it up? In a similar situation to OP...

Kind of in this situation now as well.

I will be telling someone that soon, but more importantly why I think she's great, which I hope will boost her confidence a bit (she's quite shy and quiet).

The thing is I'm not trying to get a date or anything out of it, I just want to tell her before I leave for uni, because I think she needs to know, I'll always be wondering "what if I had said that" and it'd be nice to pay her a compliment.
I just hope she doesn't turn around and call me a total freak, or something daft like that. Don't know why she would, she's very kind, but then again, there always is that fear of rejection, and a sense that "Maybe she doesn't want to hear that from me".

Any advice or ideas before I do tell her?

First, don't duck out of it - make sure you tell her.

As for telling her, just tell her what you feel. If she's the person you describe, she'll be moved by it.

Thankyou, she is definitely the person who I've described, though, I at least, think she's very pretty so I don't know if she often gets compliments (a couple of my friends say she doesn't) but obviously that's not the most important thing here, so yeah I hope she'll be moved, like you said.
It's always reassuring to have some, well, reassurance, so thank you, will be pos repping your post in the morning on my laptop (if that matters lol)
