Is this a turn off?

NB: I am female...

Is telling a guy that you him like a turn off? For example is showing interest or feelings? I don't mean stalking or proposals but just little hints and jokes about liking them.....

What would turn a guy off about a girl making the first move. I am interested to hear guys' opinions but girls you can share your experiences too.... Bit new to this dating lark :rolleyes:

No it is not.
It certainly isn't. Most guys would be flattered. I know I would.
well no, if i like a girl, and she tells me that she likes me, then it's a good signal if i wanna make a move

It's good, especially if the guy is shy.

if i tell a guy i like him, i think its a turn off but ive got so many issues, within myself about guys that i think its a bad thing!!!

if a guy tells me he likes me i think the same, im really negative!!!

Obviously not.
would a guy be flattered even if he didn't like the girl?

as in not laughing in her face and acting like an idiot!!

If she's hot i'd be flattered. If not i'd me like...

If I had a quid for every time a guy said to me that they wished girls would make the first move, then I'd be very rich by now!

Probably, unless it was over the top.
if she just took him aside and said, i like you, or dropped it in a conversation not like moving heaven and earth to find the most public way to tell him,

if the girl is an old friend, and something happened like just kissed, and then she said she liked you, would you run a mile!!!
haha its not a turn off :biggrin: whywould it be
Its only girls who like to complicate everything with the opposite sex.

For a guy directness is hardly ever a problem
