How do I tell him?

[LittleMsFOB]

Hi all,
I'm about 97% positive my friend has a crush on me. He stares (then smiles when he catches my eye) at me a lot, flirts quite a bit, teases me constantly, sits close to me, and generally singles me out when we're in a group. I've also been seeing him a lot more, like he'll walk with me to a class of mine, even though it's kind of out of his way, or wait for me to walk to lunch. He doesn't do any of the teasy/flirty things to anyone else... I was wondering how I could let him know I liked him subtly/something to that effect. We're both pretty shy, and I dunno if he'd ever come out and say it without being entirely sure I liked him.
Thanks
xoxo

aww ok thats super cute!

haha ok well if i were you i would flirt back. (which im sure u are)

i would give him hugs and smile all flirtly(is that a word?)

and compliment him!

"Oh gosh! ur arms look amazing! *squeeze arm*"
"Ur eyes look extra *color* today"

and maybe wenever your alone you could be like "ur a great guy" and maybe/hopefully he would ask u out or something!

Hi there,

As it's been suggested, try to flirt back if you are not doing so already. It may be a bit harder to get through to him because you are both shy people. If I was trying to hint to someone that I liked them, I would flirt and hope he gets the hint. If that didn't work, I'd probably try to find a subtle way to bring up relationships in general and try to talk about it with him to see what he says/thinks. It certainly varies from person to person.

If you're comfortable, why not ask him out? In this day and age, girls can totally ask guys out. You don't have to go all serious and romantic, but even some kind of group date would be neat. You could ask him to hang out with you and your friends and maybe he could bring some of his own friends (if you guys don't have mutual friends). If you do have mutual friends, just hang out as a group. Try to spend as much time with him as you can (i.e., make sure you sit beside him, walk near him, etc.)

If it's going on for a while and he's still not getting the hint, maybe you should just tell him that you like him - that is, if you feel comfortable doing so. Telling someone that you like them is not the easiest thing in the world but, in many cases, it's totally worth it. If you want some kind of relationship with him or even if you just want him to know how you feel about him, telling him is not a bad idea. If you don't feel comfortable telling him in person, writing him a note and giving it to him or putting it in his locker or something is pretty cute.

Ultimately, the way you go about this is entirely up to you. I've given you a few suggestions and I hope they help.

Good luck.

Hello!
Maybe try asking him why he always hangs around you and why he's always so nice to you. Theres always a chance that he'll confess that he likes you. Also, ask him if he likes anyone at your school and maybe he'll give you the hints that you are the one hes talking about.
And remember, don't be afraid to tell him how you feel to him, because if he feels the same way then it'll be so worth it in the end.
Good luck.
