So There Is This Boy ...

Whom I find myself falling for.

I have known him for 7 years but we started getting closer this March. I can say we are really good friends, but nothing more. He is amazing and everything I value in a guy.

Long story short, I want to express my feelings for him but I do not want to be forward. I am pretty old fashioned so I believe the boy should make the first move, but I am afraid if he doesn't know how I feel, then nothing will happen and I will burst because my feelings are so strong.

Any advice as to how I can let him know how I feel without actually saying, "Yo, I'm falling for you"

thanks :]

Hahah oh yeah ... I remember middle school..

I don't think he takes hints.
He probably thinks I'm just being friendly.

You can express interest without saying you're falling for him.

Body language is a biggy. Play with your hair when he's around (twirl a lock around your finger, tuck it behind your ear, that sort of thing.) If he touches his face (especially his ears and nose) say three times in a minute or two then I would say he's interested.

Eye contact is the big one. Look him in the eye when you talk. If he holds eye contact for about five seconds he's comfortable with you.

If you can catch his eye when you're across a hall or room, smile. If he smiles back smile a little wider then look away. Repeat it again a minute or so later and if he does the same again I think it's safe to say he's interested.

The main thing to remember about us boys is that basically, we're idiots. And that means we do need to be told sometimes.

Thank you lots Brett
Having a guys point of view is vital

Sorry but I can totally agree. :]

I also have the problem of trying to find out how he feels for me. He is normally a nice and friendly guy so when he does nice things for me, I can't tell if hes interested or if hes just being nice ...

Thats a tough one.... Is he that nice to other girls?

And what I did when i wanted to tell my boyfriend that i loved him I asked him a question, starting with standard ones such as: favorite school year? things like that.. and eventually we started asking each other more personal things, and then he asked me who i liked and i said him. and it all worked out

yours truly, polaroid

He's generally a nice guy which does not really help me try to figure out his feelings.

I try to make an effort to be around him but I am not sure he takes hints ...

I must say that I know this from experience...

Boys tend to be EXTREMELY slow when it comes to flirting. I remember, I had a guy friend and he came over to me and I told him "geez that girl was really flirting with you" and he's like.. "what.. huh? who??" Lol. Girls notice things with this subject more then guys.

Most guys you have to go up to point blank and say how you feel, or else they'll never guess it.

Yo man, you shouldnt always rely on the guy to make a first move what if he is waiting for you too?why should u hold back if u dig the guy? that doesnt make much sense, now does it.

Like I said, I'm pretty old fashioned when it comes to making the first move...

Grab his attention!

I have a feeling, he's anti-social when it comes to girls, and has no clue how to flirt.

Well we already have basketball in common and we always talk about it but theres nothing more
