There's a guy I like and I have been wondering whether to tell him I like him but I'm scared of rejection. I think he feels the same way... but I don't know what to say if he doesn't. How and what should I tell him?

Don't worry about being rejected my dear. Just ask him. Chances are he's thinking the same things and is dreading being rejected too. This is the number one reason why girls wonder why a guy won't ask her out. He's terrified she'll say no. So ask him.

Try to think of your situation a different way. If you ask him and get a yes then great. If he turns you down then you're in the same situation as you are now. Looking at it that way, what do you have to loose.

xnickx agony auntWhile there is no magic way to tell him, there are minimal things you can do to increase your chances.

First don't fear rejection. You'll never know unless you try. Also, it'll make you more nervous than you are already going to be.

Next your leaving a few things out. It'll be easier to ask him out if you aren't good friends because no one wants to take the chance of ruining a good friendship. Next if he knows or you suspect he knows you like him, the best and easiest thing to do would to let him know you like him.

If he's not a good friend and he doesn't know, then just ask him to go somewhere with you, the park, the mall, a resturaunt (nothing too fancy, fast food place would work good) and not at first, but after talking for a while, tell him you have feelings for him, whatever the feelings are.

Note that i don't know the full situation and don't want to steer you down the wrong path and that this doesn't work for everyone. If you don't feel comfortable with this and don't think it'll work, don't do it.

If you want to ask me something else, just message me.

Hope it all works out!

StudentOfLife agony auntNo matter how you'll tell him that you love him, there's still a possibility that he will reject you. There's no magic way for a guarantee yes.
