If there's one situation guaranteed to cause a girl a sleepless night or two then it's the big 'should I tell him how I feel' question. Yikes, just thinking about it is causing us here at BG to break into a cold sweat. So what to do? Should you bare your soul, tell him that you like him (and risk eternal humiliation and rejection) or take a chance, spill the beans (and potentially live happily ever after with the man of your dreams?)
It sure seems that the guys give us the thumbs up to speaking up. But what's the best way to do it?
Don't tell him while he's hanging around with his friends - it'll leave him embarrassed and you uncomfortable as you wait for him to reciprocate his feelings. Wait until you're alone and let him know then. It's more romantic and personal!
Don't scare him by declaring undying love. Simply let him know you think he's cool and that you'd like to get to know him better
Send him a card - but again, don't scare him with anything too over the top. A cool card with a simple note or message is fine.
However, a word of warning. Revealing your true feelings is a risky business so if you want to avoid a potentially embarrassing situation, it's probably best to do it only if you think he's got some kind of feelings towards you in return. Can you trust this guy not to tell all his friends what you've said and/or make you the laughing stock of the school/college, just because you had the courage to speak up? You need to weigh up whether the benefits (i.e.: getting yourself a new boyfriend) outweigh the disadvantages (possible humiliation and rejection!) But if you think he's worth it then we say, go for it. Good luck!
