How do I tell him I like him?

I've fancied this guy for about a year now and I really want to tell him that I like him. We're both really shy and I dont want to ruin the friendship we have - but I think its something that is on both our minds. I dont want to hang around and wait for him because he may never ask me out or tell me that he likes me. What should I say to him? He's at uni but its only an hours train ride away. Im hoping to see him at the beginning of october. Thanlks

"I like you" *cute smile and look into his eyes*

Then you can see what he says about it. I don't know him but most guys would be flattered even if they don't feel the same but just go for it especially if you don't think he will.
Almost exactly the same case with me, but I'm the guy.

Still, here's my advice, for what it counts. Email him within the next few days saying you'll be meeting him in oct (if he dsnt know) and tht you're keen to meet him.

Then, when you meet him, try to spend some time alone and do what zav said.

spend a day with him when you can.
just arrange a day to go out, and then i dunno.. just become really close to him, thats the way it works best usually.
i know it means you have to wait but patience is a virtue.

If you don't do it you'll always think what could have been. Go for it.
walk up to him and say "hey, how would you feel if I told you I fancy you?"

Do you think that I should ask if he'd like to meet up now? Like in a month or so. Or should I leave it for a while and keep emailing him? I could suggest the idea and see what he thinks?
no dont do a meet up cos he'll think its just a friends thing, id just email him that you like him.
As someone mentioned above....Im in the same situation but with a girl.

Something inside me tonight just made me email her...twice :eek:

The first one was really convuluted....it started with ok i know this might seem really random or this might not be the right time but....i love you.

then i carried on rambling....

then half an hour or so later, i read it again and it seemed really random....so i sent another explaining why i hadn't told her so before, that i don't want our friendship to be ruined/turn weird, what kind of things that i have done for her in the past few months etc etc and then i left it there.

i don't know how it will turn out, but on my side, i have felt a HUGE stone lifted off my chest: i feel so much better and am looking forward to a reply, be it success or failure.

hope you can conjure up the courage to take some action too, cos it really does help!

iv been wanted to send the emails for ages....2/3 months now...it might not be the best way to communicate that you like someone but its the simple and effective way, i think!

good luck
I am in the same situation as Annon 1 but, in my case, i'm not that close to that guy yet: i haven't got his number. Couple of days ago, he asked me when i'll go to the pub next, i wasn't sure his intention of asking, so i said it depends on my female mate who works together with us. and he said she's a very bad influence , and blar blar blar...then i said "i'll look after myself, i have selfcontrol..." and he sort of look at me and smile (i don't know why). Anyway, does e-mail really work? It will be so awkward if he doesn't feels the same.

okay it cant be too hard, my bf mailed me saying how he felt and its been 8 months now!! :smile:
dont worry, you dont have to tell him, why dont you just ask him that if he would like to go out with you sometime, like shopping (okay not best idea but something like that) anyway while your with him and you think its a good chance, just tell him, if he goes all quite then just say your joking or simething

well, I did that, told the guy I fancied him to his face and well, it was awkward and he said he didn't feel the same way and I ended up saying that I was fine and I knew he didnt like me but I wanted to let it out. He was surprised and in fact was kind to me and was flaterred.
It was hard seeing him the next day though, but I got over it.
And all in all, in all it brought us closer as friends. We are more confortable around each other and I felt better having told him.
So, I'd go with telling him but maybe not face to face as it can hurt.
Good Luck:smile: .

good on you mate, i'd prefer to have it done face to face tho.
@ anon 4

don't email your feelings unless ur somewhat certain of it being reciprocated. perhaps the guy was just flirting. try flirting back when u meet him n see how he responds.

Thanks for the advice. I've deided im going to keep emialing him for now and thenwhen I feel the time is right - in a month or so- ask to meet up. If it goes well and we're close I'l tell him that I like him and that Im glad we're meeting up and see what he says. I really like him and would hate to loose my chance at a relationship with him

He he these kind of situations are cute :biggrin:

Go for a walk in the park and have a good chat.. then when it comes to being silence...

Just pop in ' I like you :smile: '

He might say... ' Awww I like to you too :p: '

Then you go...

You: ' Nooo I mean I really like you...You know..fancy you':flutter:

And ta da, he'll probably arrange a date...:handkiss:

Him: ' Cool... wanna go out to the zoo and see monkeys next week..'

or whatever he's interested in... :dancing:

Sorry got carried away there... but just let him know; don't waste your time dwelling on it!

Let me know how it goes
