"If you tell your best friend you're crushing on him or her, do not pressure them to answer right away or suddenly pour out their heart to you." - David McBoye
To present how to let your crush know how you feel towards them romantically without ruining our friendship with them:
1. Do him/her a favor and tell him/her about your intentions.
If your crush is shy, all he/she might need is reassurance that his/her feelings are reciprocated. Otherwise, she might not make the leap you want her to.
2. Tell her you have developed feelings for her, and would like to experiment going out together casually.
3. Do not pressure him or her to answer right away or suddenly pour out their heart to you.
It is a lot to take in. You can also let her know, if she doesn’t feel comfortable or doesn’t share your feelings, that you still treasure your friendship and are still okay being friends.
4. Do not make him/her choose between friendship and a relationship.
Both are important, and any relationship would be doomed to fail if there was no friendship to base it on in the first place.
5. Make sure it is just the two of you, and not in a location where she will feel trapped or forced to answer right away (that is not on a date).
NOTE: If she wants to stay friends, at least get the weight off your chest and reassure her that you would still like to be friends, even if she doesn’t share the same feelings with you.
REMEMBER:
- Just express your feelings to your crush if he or she is close by.
- Just tell him/her
- Just feel free to express yourself
- Have the courage and Just tell her.
All I have to say is just tell him/her but in the right way and be prepared for any outcome.
It is a RISK you are taking as an ENTREPRENEUR (that is, you might win or loose).
But try to keep the relationship because there MIGHT be a change in mind one day.
