How can I let a Guy know that I like him?

I got a mail from one of my regular reader’s asking for advice on letting a Guy whom she has known for 3 years that she likes him. So I thought I would write an article on how to tell a guy that you like him.

Girls are a little shy when it comes to expressing themselves. It is also very important for a girl to be not too aggressive when expressing themselves because that can scare or put off many guys. Sometimes guys are too shy that the girl has to take the first step by asking him for a date. Many times the girl may be friends with this guy and gets along well which has developed into a strong liking for him. In such cases it is much easier to express your feelings for the guy. 

Many times the girls do not express their feelings for fear that they may be rejected and by telling the guy you like that person that they may lose that person forever as a friend. This happened with a close friend of mine. Both my friend and the guy she loved never dared to express their real feelings for each other because of fear of losing a friend only to later find out years later that their feelings were mutual. My friend is now trapped in an unhappy marriage which she does not want to break because of her two children. She still mutters ‘If only I said that I loved him then…’ Now she feels that things are too late to change. There is a saying that ‘if you love/like someone you should express it now, tomorrow may be too late’. If you don't say something, you can bet you will regret it. Rather than wondering ‘what if’ it is better to express your feelings for that person.

So you don't know how to bring it to his attention that you like him? What are some ways to let someone know you like them or find if he likes you too? Try to know him even more by spending more and more time with him without being too desperate or needy. The modern day tools like, Mobile Phones, YM, Skype and other chat messaging tools are a great way to build a relationship.

Send an ‘I like you’ text message or mail without worrying how he will accept it. If he accepts it’s positively then you can boldly ask him for a date. Even if he is rejecting you, if he is your friend, the chances are that he would turn you down very nicely and it should not affect your friendship.

Send him an 'I like you' Card.

Many times his behavior and body language gives indications that he likes you. Just watch out for signs that he likes you and if you are seeing any positive sign then do not fear to express your feelings to him. You may ask him for a coffee out or assistance with something and let know what you feel.

The best way to tell someone how you feel about him is directly. Just go for it with full confidence that the feeling is mutual.

Show him in many ways that you care for him and is concerned about him. If he is a smart guy he should get the message. However, be genuine around him. Nobody will like someone who is pretending. Let him like you for what you are.

Smile at him where ever you make an eye contact with him (if you are bold you may even give him a wink). Most men should get the message when you smile in a sensual and intimate manner only meant for him. Similarly the way you look at him with that special glow in your eyes, touch him or the way you behave around him can say a lot about your feelings for him. Try to be beautiful to him and appear at your best when he is around. Let your body speak for you.

Try flirting with him a little however do not be too clingy. If you are good friends with him then drop lots of real clues and hints.

Compliment him often. Express appreciation for the qualities he have and his interests and mean it too. Be sure to remember his special days.

Do not do the talking all the time but listen to what he has to say more and use the time to watch him. Everyone likes someone to talk too and your guy is no different. By being a patient listener you would grab his attention. 

Whether you're shy or just too old-fashioned to ask a guy out you owe it to yourself to find ways to say how you are feeling.
