How should I say I like you to a boy if I'm a young girl? We've been friends for a while and now I want to be more than friends. I don't want to ask him so it sounds awkward and puts him in a weird position. How should i ask him without making him feel uncomfortable?
eatshitdie answered Sunday March 8 2015, 5:11 am: really, it all depends on how old you are and how long you've liked them. I'm certainly bad at letting someone know I like them (believe me, I'm going through that right now) best thing you could do right now is try to figure out if he is interested into you for starters [ eatshitdie's advice column | Ask eatshitdie A Question ]

Hopefully nothing more than holding hands and a kiss or two at your young age. If you are a much older teen I'd have you say something a little different. But I am going to assume real young so based on that, it's best to not say anything about your feelings that are getting deeper for him. When two people who have spent any amount of substantial time together, they naturally get to know each other better, to the point you either begin to have feelings for the person, or you don't but like their friendship still or you find you don't like them at all and quit hanging with them.
If you say, "Hey Todd, I just wanted you to know that I like you." He could easily take that as meaning you like him as a friend which is kinda obvious cus you don't hang out with people you aren't friends with and dont like or have nothing in common with. You want to know if he likes you as more than a friend. So its better to present it as an idea and ask what his opinion is. So you could say something like this, "Todd, we've been doing really great being just friends. That makes me wonder if it's possible for us to become more than friends. Do you think we should give that a try?" This way, if he's been interested and too shy to aay anything he can just say it sounds like a good idea. If he likes you as a friend but doesnt see you as anything more than like a sister, then you'll know. If he likes the idea, then you also have to ask, "So what do you think we could do that is different than now, like would we hold hands and hang out more, maybe even kiss?" Then see what he thinks of the idea. Either he's ready to charge on ahead at full speed or he wants to go slowly, only acknowledging feelings for now and remaining close friends and that is good too. Good luck. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
