So here you are, finding yourself spending more and more time with a girl and you\u2019ve decided that you want to put yourself out there and tell her that you like her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The only problem is that when you\u2019ve done this in the past, it hasn\u2019t worked out the way you\u2019d like and you\u2019re wondering if the problem is with you or with the way that you told the girl that you liked her.<\/p>\n

Well, if the problem is that the girl simply didn\u2019t like you in return, that\u2019s a topic for another day.The good news is that if the problem is in the way you told her you liked her, that\u2019s something that you can definitely work on and improve.<\/p>\n

Should you tell her?While this might have worked for George Strait when he was back in the third grade with Emmylou Hayes, this is probably not something that you want to do. This might sound confusing to some of you out there. After all, what\u2019s wrong with simply coming right out and expressing your feelings?Think about it \u2014 is that something that a man does\u2026or is this something that a boy does?You\u2019re a man and that means that you\u2019re not going to come right out and blurt something out that makes you seem weak or needy. What you want to do is first begin with some simple little steps to even determine whether or not this girl is on the same page that you are.Should you do it over text or in person?While you might think this should be obvious, for some guys, they think texting is the way to go. After all, they text all the time, so why shouldn\u2019t they just text a girl that they like her?For one thing, it\u2019s really cowardly.When a girl is told by a guy that he likes her, she wants him to be there, in front of her, professing his feelings. The last thing she wants is to be seeing \u201cI like you a lot\u201d in a text message. Instead, she wants to be able to see his emotions in his eyes.Another reason you\u2019re going to do it in person is so you can see her eyes, too, and you can gauge her reaction to what you\u2019ve just told her.Signs That a Girl Likes YouLittle smiles directed at youMaking prolonged eye contactLittle touches and gesturesAsking questions about you and your interestsTexts sent throughout the daySeems nervous around youSo, let\u2019s say that you like a girl and you\u2019ve noticed that whenever she sees you, she smiles and when she talks to you, she makes eye contact and sometimes touches your hand or just kind of \u201chug bumps\u201d into you.She\u2019s asking questions about your life, about your interests and you\u2019ve noticed that she seems to be texting you throughout the day.Chances are pretty good that she likes you and that you might want to think about moving onto the next step.Will it ruin the friendship?This is one of those questions that\u2019s really difficult to simply give a flat-out \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cno.\u201d After all, every friendship is different.If the friendship is strong enough and it turns out the attraction might not be mutual, it should survive with a minimum amount of awkwardness. On the other hand, if the friendship isn\u2019t really that strong, it\u2019s possible that it might end that particular relationship.If it does, that might be a good sign that relationship probably wasn\u2019t ever going to go anywhere, however.Look at it this way \u2014 if she\u2019s not liking you the same way and the friendship is strong enough, it\u2019s going to survive. On the other hand, if she likes you the way you like her, putting those feelings out there in the open might lead the two of you into a relationship level that you previously never thought was possible.When am I going to know it\u2019s the right time?Well, if life were a movie, you\u2019d know it\u2019s the right time by the way there\u2019s swelling music in the background as she looks into your eyes, leans towards you, her eyes focused on you, and her lips parted ever so slightly.Then again, this is real life and if there\u2019s swelling music in the background, you might have an orchestra following you around and it might not be the best time to tell someone you like them.There\u2019s no perfect time to announce your feelings, but it\u2019s best to make sure the scene is properly prepared. You\u2019re not going to want to do it out of the blue, when the two of you are just walking down the street and she\u2019s just told you that her dog has kidney failure.But if the two of you have just had a great time together and the night is coming to an end, it might be okay for you to tell her how you\u2019re feeling. When that time comes, simply look her in the eyes, hold her gaze, and tell her how you feel.Make sure your feelings come across as confident and not needy. Let her know you like her but that she\u2019s under no obligation to return those feelings.Personality mattersLet\u2019s say that you like this girl but she\u2019s usually surrounded by guys you think are far superior to you. However, when the two of you are together, you\u2019ve discovered she\u2019s not someone who needs all that attention and who actually has a depth to her that others might not realize.Do you stand a chance?Well, according to Scientific American, researchers conducting a study on perceptions of physical attractiveness, personality plays a much more important role in the way people perceive us than previously thought.Students in a summer course rated each other based on physical attractiveness, liking, whether or not the students knew each other, and intelligence.Then, after working together for six weeks, they were asked to rate each other again and it turned out that non-physical characteristics (especially liking) caused people to perceive physical attractiveness greater in the final perceptions as opposed to the initial perceptions.This is great news. It means that even though you might not be the most handsome man in the room, the way you\u2019re perceived can make you more attractive to others \u2014 and more likely to have the attention you want reciprocated.What are some cute ways to tell a girl you like her?First and foremost, you\u2019ve got to show genuine interest in her. She\u2019s going to want to know that you\u2019re looking at what\u2019s inside of her. This makes a girl feel special and separates you from the guys out there who only care about how she looks.It\u2019s also important that you reveal yourself to her in a way that lets her know that you\u2019re giving her something special, something that you don\u2019t just give out to everyone you meet.You can also get her a little something special, something that you saw and reminded you of her. If she likes books, find out what books she\u2019s interested in and pick one of them up.Some girls love getting silly little stuffed animals and others respond well to plants. Simply get a little present for her based on what you know about her.Also, doing little favors for her without being asked lets her know that you\u2019re interested in her well-being (and also gives her a feeling that you\u2019re actually wanting to take care for her, which is one of the most powerful expressions of affection a girl responds to).Finally, just sending a simple text that says, \u201cHey, I was just thinking about you and wanted to see how you were doing\u201d lets her know that she\u2019s on your mind.What are some ways to tell a girl you like her without words?You know how to tell if a girl likes you without her telling you, right? It works the same way with guys who want a girl to know he likes her. You meet this girl, you get to know her, and you want her to know how you feel about her.No problem. You\u2019ve got this. When she\u2019s talking to you, you make eye contact. This lets her know that you\u2019re focused on her and no one else. You give her little physical gestures \u2014 touching her hand when she\u2019s sitting next to you and talking, especially if she\u2019s telling you something that you respond to.If there\u2019s one thing that you should remember, it\u2019s that telling a girl that you like her has far less of an impact than showing her. Actions are extremely important.She doesn\u2019t just want to hear that you like her \u2014 she wants to feel what you\u2019re feeling, she wants to feel secure with you. By performing actions that express your feelings, it helps a girl feel as if the two of you are a couple, even if the words haven\u2019t been said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
