How do you tell "the one" how you truly feel?

    Well, your best bet is asking him how he feels. It doesn't matter when, but make sure there aren't other people around.

    I've always been a big fan or notes personally ^_^.. but depending on whether or not you're the talkative type, note or face to face work (I'm horrible with coming up with things to say on the spot so I do notes =p).. but whichever you choose.. just tell him that.. with how close you guys have been over X amount of time, that you've kinda been growing to like him as a little bit more than just a friend (don't flat out say you love him cuz that word has some powerful reactions).. and ask him what he thinks, and if he feels the same way....
    If he does, then suggest that you two take it up one more level =)

    Hope this helps

    I've been in this situation a couple of times and I know the feeling of not knowing, it's kinda awful. Half of you wants to know incase he likes you, and the other half doesn't incase he doesn't...
    But in the end, you have to ask him, and even though its the hardest way, face to face is honestly the best way possible. At least then you know straight away, and he can see how hard it's been for you to pluck up the courage to ask him..
    Just the next time you see him, grasp the moment and ask if you can just talk to him for a sec and tell him as quickly (but still understandable) as possible..

    And although both times I told guys this they said they didnt like me back (altho apparently I was loved like a sister - how depressing) I'm sure he does like you. And even if he doesn't, at least you're then at piece....

    Good luck

    You could write a letter and hope they read it. or do it over the phone. or what would be best is if you do it in person, just get that person alone and make sure you have plenty of time to tell them. it's better that way so you don't have to worry about seeing them the next day and freaking out. cuz you already told them in person. does this make sense?

    ^I agree. If you don't take the chance, you'll never find out.

    I disagree with losing him as a friend. Personally I feel if you tell him out right that you have feelings for him and unfortunately if he doesn't have feelings for you back he would respect you more as a person for being honest and open. But you won't know unless you ask so bite the bullet and tell him.

    I agree in parts. Just do it. Don't hold back but don't be demanding or anything, put it in a loving manner so that the mood will be the same way, I know I like that when it it just me and a girl.
