Hey

I have known this girl for quite a while. I’ve started to have feelings for her, but I don’t know how to tell her. I can’t seem to get the courage because last time I let someone know I liked them I got hurt. I’ve tried writing notes but I just can’t make the words come out right. What can I do?

well if i had a guy say that he had feelings for me id friggen be like awuah.

so make shure yu just tell her if its important to you,

say this,

i have to tell you something but i dont think i want to because you might break my heart.

and if she says how do you know i will,

be like because it has happened to me in the past or just buy her a promise ring if you guys are so close.

it would be cute.

and she would be happy.

so just tell her dont be scared there will always be other fishys in the sea

*Jay* agony aunthuni getting knocked down is not goning to boost your confidence but you have got to pick yourself back up. Everyone gets there hearts broken but if we dont try we will never know. If you dont tell her she could go with another guy. You dont have to ask her straight away try to get a bit closer and take an interest in her eg ask her how she feels today and smile at her when ever you can.

Ok you got your heart broken and yes it could happen again but if you dont take the risk you could miss out completley.

Heya, I understand how u feel been hurt in the past too bt u know wat u gta do..Look forwrds and know that being hurt has only made u stronger. You need to just let her know because even though thers a chance she may nt feel the same..thers also a chance she does! Look at it like that. You do need to gt some confidence. So think about urself and make urself feel amazing then u wil hav no problem. Sounds stupid bt get someone close to you to give u some compliments then go and tell her how u feel! It doesnt mean just cos it went wrong in the past it has to go wrong now. I think writing her a note/letter sounds good. Even though its nt the most confident thing to do. But she may find this cute and romantic. Just tell her how u feel, ask her the same thing and then maybe even tell her that ur scared cos u hav been hurt in the past before. Just tell her the truth. Good luck and email me if u wnt :] x

Take a plunge, you never know. I know how you feel. Try to find out whether she has feelings for u by asking questions related :) if you have no confidence you wont get nowhere and she'll be off with someone else before you know it.

Good luck

Laura1318 agony auntYou can pour out your romantic thoughts into a diary or journal about your feelings for her. This way , you will have an outlet or you may get constipated or go crazy.

I feel you should not tell her your feelings unless you are very sure , she likes you too and treat you in a very special way.If she does not like you , you will lose a friend. She would avoid you and it is the end.

You do not have to tell her because she or her friends will notice your heart on your sleeves.

xapathyxrebornx agony auntAww hun I know you've been hurt in the past but its a case of if you dont take the chance and ask you wont know!

Instead of going full blown out and telling her you like her, maybe hang out a few times? Like go for a coffee or a movie AS friends, flirt a little but dont make it too obvious and let feelings develop mutally, therefore you may feel more confident and less worried you'll get hurt again

message me if you want to talk =] x

rcn agony auntYou take a chance and live. Don't let the past determine now, or you may end up letting opportunity pass you by. Remember, rejection is not about you, it's about someone else's choice. It may just be not the right time. I've even turned down a couple of gals in the last couple of years, because I choose to be single. It's not about them, it's about my choice.
