how do you tell someone that you like them more than

a friend if you are not sure if they like you more than a friend and you don’t want to ruin your friendship by making them feel awkward around you when they know that you like them more than just a friend?????

Hey!
it aint confusing…
All of us land up in that situation… Its like you can picture yourself with that pesrson by your side, but you aint sure if its the right match and you still would like them in your life always, hopefully as someone important but atleast as a friend…
The simplest thing is to say how glad you are to be their friend or Im so glad to know you or you always put a smile on my face… The see their reaction…
all teh best!

Just be honest and frank and non threatening. Or, if having a conversation about it would be really weird for you try dropping a few hints. A light touch, a special little “I’m thinking of you” type gift. I like R.A.M. s advice too; just say “I really like you” and see how they respond. You may be surprised :)

Just tell the person face to face but don’t text them or call them it’s the best just to tell them face to face don’t get a friend to do it its nicer to tell someone how you feel….. :)
