How do you confess to your crush without saying I like you?
Write a note and pass it to your crush or make a creative card. Notes are one of the most common and effective ways to confess a crush. It tends to be less awkward than in-person confessions, giving you some space and comfort if the person doesn't feel the same way.
Be straightforward and come to the point and make him realise that he can be honest with you and express his feelings for you without being judged or critiqued. There are many body language signs like his gaze, his way of talking to you and more such things that can help you know how he feels for you.
Do Something Fun Together. Do something active next time you hang out — a hike, a walk on the beach, or a rollercoaster ride. Any experience that generates excitement and creates ~butterflies~ is not only fun but memorable too. Your crush will associate you with a good time and a fuzzy feeling in his/her chest.
Make eye contact when you're talking to them, or hold their gaze for a couple of extra seconds when your eyes meet in the hallway. You could playfully tease them, or send a flirty text after school to let them know you're thinking about them.
Make sure that they know you're teasing, being ironic, or sarcastic by adding in an emoji or an LOL—over text, it can be hard to tell whether or not someone's being serious. Tease them gently about something they're good at/confident about.
Just be simple and direct. Say, "I wanted to tell you that I have a crush on you" or "I really like hanging out with you, and I want you to know that I have feelings for you." When you tell your crush, look them in the eye and relax your body.
A guy who likes you will always be nice and polite in his approach towards you and he will always look for avenues to spend more time alone with you and get to know more about you- either by going on a date, through constant phone calls or chats- the subtle signs are always there if you pay close attention.
Across 6 studies testing current and former romantic relationships, we found that although people think that women are the first to confess love and feel happier when they receive such confessions, it is actually men who confess love first and feel happier when receiving confessions.
One of the obvious reasons why a guy may ignore or act disinterested in you is because he feels you are too good for him. He lacks the confidence to approach you or share his feelings with you, fearing you might reject him. He feels that sharing his true feelings might ruin your friendship with him.
