A Guide to Revealing Your Feelings
If you’ve been eyeing up Mr Hot for weeks but not had the courage to say anything then it’s about time you got over your nerves.
Telling a guy how you feel can be pretty daunting but we’ve got some tips that should help you along the way, enjoy!
Test the Waters
Obviously, before you go pouring your heart out you’d like to know if he feels the same about you to avoid any major embarrassment.
Try playfully flirting with him and see how he reacts. If he gives it back then you’re in with a chance!
Be confident and slightly jokey, that way if he isn’t so keen you can laugh it off and make a joke of it with no harm done.
Body Language
Body language tells a lot about how a person feels about you. Making lots of eye contact with him will let him know you’re interested and if he reciprocates then he’s trying to let you know the same.
Try getting a little closer to him. If he likes you then he won’t mind you getting in his personal space so much.
Touching his arm or his leg is always a good way to tell if he likes you. If he moves away then you’ll know you’re going down the wrong path.
Tell Them Straight
The best way to show your feelings is by telling him. You don’t have to make it super serious, compliment him and tell him all the reasons that you like him.
Flattery really does get you everywhere and if you’re nice to him and make him feel good then he’s more likely to respond well.
Even if he doesn’t return the feelings you do, he’s much more likely to let you down gently if you were being genuinely sincere with him.
Finally…
It’s not the be all and end all if he doesn’t feel the same. Don’t run off crying, saying that you’re swearing off men.
Take it on the chin, just because he doesn’t want it to be anything more than a friendship doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of that.
If you started off as friends then there is no reason that you can’t remain friends. There are plenty more fish in the sea!
