How to Tell a Friend You Like Him Without Ruining the Friendship! do it this way
Falling in love romantically with a friend is something that happens most of the time. It can be deliriously exciting or nightmarish. Trust me, because I know what it feels like. When you’ve been really good friends with each other for a long time and suddenly, just like that, you realize you’re always thinking about him, feeling awkward, and acting weird when he’s around, you’ll know things have changed.
So what happened and what changed? Your feelings, stupid! You are falling in love with the boy and you don’t know what to do. More than anything, you are afraid that he will not return your feelings. Things will not be easy for you, my friend. Act sensibly and hopefully you will find that he feels the same way about you.
However, don’t rely on luck alone, if your friend has always treated you like another one of his casual friends and has no idea how you feel; you are in a difficult moment. You can let him know right away and risk your friendship, or worse, he’ll be horrified because he had no idea and considers you a sister. Yuck! Now that can be really painful. So this is what you do. Take it easy and don’t rush or you’ll mess up the whole plan. These are my tactics and they have worked for me. Others may have different ways of doing it.
• Never tell your friend right away that you have feelings for him because if he doesn’t think of you that way, it will be a shock to him and he might start avoiding you. Once you have burned your ship there is nothing you can do.
• Be a true friend to him. Listen when he speaks; even if it’s about other girls. Laugh with him when he’s happy and show him your concern when he’s in trouble.
• Be the first to offer help when you need it. Show him how concerned you are and let him know that you will support him no matter what.
• Look attractive when you are with him. Let me see you in a different light; as a desirable woman and not as a member of the gang.
• Surprise him with intelligent conversation and get to know his interests in life (even if it’s boring).
• Be prepared to accompany him to a football game or car show, even if you’d rather be in a movie, alone with him. Never scold him.
• In short, be indispensable to him.
• When you have him eating from your hand, start acting elusive and mysterious. If you have been calling, don’t call; wait for me to call you. Whenever he wants you to go somewhere with him, tell him you have a date, but don’t tell him with whom. Let him wonder.
When you get to this stage, he will definitely feel your absence and worry that he has been taking you for granted. He will start to wonder if you have found a boyfriend or if you are slowly drifting away from him. That will scare the hell out of him and make him come running to you to tell you that he can’t do without you. Trust me, it works, every time.
