Do you tell a girl you like her?

Hello.

This is a really complicated topic to research so I decided to come here and ask first hand. If you tell a girl how you feel about her, does it make you a wuss? From what I read, most people suggest that telling how you feel without all the "flatteners" while being yourself is the best way.

There is a chance of rejection but there is also a chance of being accepted, on the other hand if you stay quiet there is no chance of being rejected neither accepted.

It is like when you are selling a product. The buyer can say two things. Yes or No. It is always better to ask and get a reply, than not ask and not try.

The reason why there are doubts however is because I think it could make you look like a wuss(As I mentioned above)...like a weak person who can not control himself. What is the best approach?

Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it.

    Personally, I feel a bit on the spot if a guy comes up to me and tells me he likes me, I prefer to get to know a guy and hang out and make sure we're compatible and have fun, before emotions start getting involved like that.

    I think it depends how you tell them. If you come across as needy or desperate it usually backfires. However, if you know them well enough and just bring it up during the conversation (e.g. having a drink together) it can sometimes get you what want. I think it's about 50/50.

  • Meh. I've never done it. I adopted the stereotypical female way which is to subtly tease until they initiate. Tends to work and I get off without risking rejection. :D

    You don't tell her, that adds a roadblock in-between growing intimacy. You just give her your time and let it build into something. If you're happy with each other, it will feel good and you'll probably both feel it. I mean, yeah, once you're together and things are going well, you're going to tell each other you love one another from time to time, but I think just going up and saying, "I like you", isn't always the best way.

    This is coming from someone who has done this several times. It labels the situation. Just let it flow.

    I find it best to just get it off your chest right away, preferably before the first date.
    Just tell her I love you, I love you, please love me back or I will die."

    Or if you are just looking for a way to break the ice, tell her you've already picked out the name of your first 7 children and you'd like her to meet your parents. Make sure your holding a roll of duct tape to show her your not afraid of commitment.

    I guess I wouldn't tell a girl I cared for how I felt about her, if she could read my mind. Since she probably can't, then if you don't tell her, how is she supposed to know?

      You pretend to sail the world from your mother's basement.

    I read it as "Do you tell a girl you like beer?"

    just go up to him and work up a conversation. make sure you are looking at her, talking to her, and acting around her DIFFERENT. so that she can figure out that you like her. you can always tell her when you ask her for a date. i recommend playing it subtle and saying "hey i like you do you wanna have a date this saturday?" or whatever. safe!!!!
