do you begin well we have some tips to help you here's how to show your crush that you like them without scaring them away number one spend time around them you don't say well before you tell your crush how you feel they need to know you exist first if you already know them pretty well even better according to a 2011 research study published in the journal of personality and social psychology familiarity with someone encourages attraction in a live interaction two experiments were reported in the study using a live interaction paradigm where two same-sex strangers interacted
with each other for different amounts of time the researchers findings supported the previously suggested theory that familiarity leads to attraction according to the study the more participants interacted the more attracted they were to each other mediation analysis identified three processes that contribute to this effect perceived responsiveness increased comfort and satisfaction during the interaction and perceived knowledge so try spending a bit more time with your crush even just sitting by them during class or lunch could possibly make them feel more comfortable around you if they welcome you it may even key them into the idea that
you like them number two throw in a few flirty hints now that they're a bit more comfortable with your presence as a possible friend try throwing in some hints that you have feelings for them make good eye contact smile at them give them a natural compliment perhaps throw in a bit of playful teasing some flirting if you're still a bit shy when it comes to flirting in person try sending them a flirty text number three go out of your way to talk to them if you want to show them you care about them you have
to make an effort to reach out to them if they notice you go out of your way to talk to them at a party lunch work or other social gatherings they may just realize you have feelings especially for them you could even text them questions specific to their personality and well-being to show you care doing this often with a bit of flirting will set you apart from just being interested in them as friends they may even start to think why do they especially want to talk to me do they like me just remember to throw
in a few flirty hints now and then so they know you want to be more than just good friends also remember to pay attention to their body language are they welcoming your conversations are they comfortable do they continue the discussion and texts number four create a deadline for yourself so you've been giving them hints spending time with them and have continued the great conversations now you have to tell them right telling your crush you like them can seem intimidating so you may just avoid doing so before you know it the school year is over or
they've relocated to a new workplace with a new position a good idea may be to give yourself a deadline for when you'll tell them your true feelings so if flirting has been going well set a deadline for a week or two away or maybe just a few days later if things are progressing smoothly you don't want to overthink things and talk yourself out of letting them know how you really feel after all ask yourself how would i feel if i never told them i liked them would i regret it number five let them know how
you feel the time has come my friend stand up tall attempt some confidence and let out the feels it might be a good idea to reveal your feelings in a casual way first and plan what you'll see in advance if you're unsure how they feel about you and you don't want to surprise them too much try saying i think i have feelings for you or express how much you enjoy spending time with them and that you want to continue spending more time with them possibly on a date this will give your crush a moment to
think about how they feel about you in a romantic way instead of declaring a statement that can seem to demand a certain answer right away number six have a purpose when you do tell them okay so let's say you tell them okay now what i mean what if your crush is unsure of how they feel and need some time or maybe they're unsure of what to say to avoid an awkward moment of silence have a purpose when you tell them this could mean asking them on a date when you express your feelings for them or
asking them to that movie or your favorite band's concert you have an extra ticket for this will make it easier for them to express their feelings as well they may politely decline your date request if they're not interested less awkward than an imminent silence right or perhaps they're busy that week but if they like you back they might express that another time works well for them or maybe just maybe they'll jump at the chance to go on a date with you hopefully they like your favorite band as much as they like you so will you
