How To Tell Someone You Like Them

Bungee jumping and skydiving are two very scary things. However, nothing compares to the panic you feel when you want to tell someone that you like them. And we mean really like.

Mustering up the courage to tell something that you’re into them takes a lot of guts and confidence. Opening yourself up to rejection is not an easy thing to do and taking a leap of faith is bound to get your heart pounding.

That being said, there really is nothing as satisfying as finally being open and honest about your feelings and – potentially – starting a journey with someone that makes your heart skip a beat.

If you have your eye on someone but don’t know how to tell them, fear not! We have put together four essential tips to follow when telling someone that you have feelings for them, without seeming silly or foolish.

Be honest

This is the most important thing to keep in mind when you’re bearing your soul to someone.

Be open and honest. Tell the person how they make you feel and how you feel about them. This will show the person that you’re serious and ready to take a chance on love.

Don’t get defensive

Look, as hard as it may seem to hear, there is a very real possibility that the person you declare your love for may not feel the same. That is ok.

Don’t get defensive or angry if the person doesn’t share your sentiment. Instead, be considerate and tell them that you accept their feelings. This will show the person that you respect them.

Be friendly

Telling someone how you really feel takes a lot of courage, which means that you will most likely feel anxious and panicky. Don’t let this feeling overwhelm you and cause you to act strangely.
Be friendly – after all, you are trying to win over someone’s affection.

Keep it light

The truth of the matter is that you are going to lay your feelings bare so you may as well have fun while you’re doing it.

Don’t assume a serious tone when talking to the person. Keep it light and flirty yet serious enough for them to know that you mean business.

In the end it can go one of two ways, and being serious and somber will only make things worse should it not go your way.
