When you feel strongly about someone, maybe you want to ask them out or just tell them how you feel, how do you go about it.

This isn't just the random "Hey you're hot, wanna go out?" kind of thing, I'm talking those people you've known for a while, who you've always liked but it took forever to work up the courage or come up with what to say just to let him or her know how you feel.

Because I want to tell someone, but am still trying to figure out how, where and when I should time it. Care to share any experiences, how well or not so well it went, what to maybe avoid as well, it'd be much appreciated.

I just went ahead and told them. No real time or place, I just felt that I needed to tell them, so I did.

Good luck when/if you do.

So you're a straight shooter, I'll keep that in mind, thanks :)

Sounds like you would have put a lot of thought into that then, so you recommend being creative perhaps?

Send them a text if they want to hang out at "insert place" at "insert time".

EDIT: I just do the same as I do for normal crushes. If you come on too strong at the start then you screw it up. Just because you really really like them doesnt mean you should tell them

Sadly, we're not the guys from Wanted, so if we wanna shoot we gotta shoot straight =[

OT: Well, I don't. Too shy.

Creative? Yeah. The more you know about the person, the better. I took everything we had went through as friends, put that in, put in my promises to help her through the tough spots of her life...you gotta let your feelings control it, not your mind.

I tell no one how I feel about them. I drink untill such feelings have gone and allow them to find someone who can make them happy!

Of course, you're not me, so I'm sure you'd make her very happy, go for it.

There's a guy here who gives advice on stuff like that.

Now where the hell is he hiding at the moment???

Anyway, PM BonsaiK. He's the relationship advice guy here.

Well she drew, so I got her a new drawing pad and pencils. artists grade which came out to 100$, and I wrote her a page long love poem. I gave them to her then ran away as fast as I could. I am the romantic type, but hopelessy shy. I say poems and gifts are the way to go to show your love.

Just play her this song and she'll know you like her.

Thanks for the advice, I have known her for a few years now so if I do something like that, there is a lot of could do. Cheers :)

I already have a while back, he told me I should go for it, now I'm just working out how to go about it, thanks for that though because he was awesome.

It totally depends on your dynamic with the specific person. Somewhere inside, you already know whether or not there is a mutual attraction. If there is, it will happen almost without trying. (If it's really strong, it can happen even against your will.)

If there isn't a mutual spark, nothing in the world will change that, and if you make a move even though you secretly know this, it could sour the friendship, because that weirds people out.

So it's all about being honest with yourself and acting on what you already know.

If you need more help, you can PM him more than once. I got four very helpful (and very wordy) bits of advice from him.

I actually just worked through something similar to this. We just had our first real date last night.

I worked with her for awhile and out of the blue one day we get chatting, exchanged cell numbers and texted each other here and there. We hung out a few times then I just asked her if she wanted to do dinner and a movie. The rest is a work in progress.

Just be up front, the worst that could happen is that she says no.
