How To Tell A Girl You Like Her Without Ruining The Friendship: 3 Steps To Follow
By Michael Lee

This is a tricky one for the guys. A lot of you may have experienced, or at least heard, of a story or two of a ruined friendship all because a guy confessed to a girl. There is, unfortunately, truth to those tales. However, that doesn't mean that has to be your ending as well. There are ways on how to tell a girl you like her without ruining the friendship.

You might ask, "If that's the case, then why are there so many of these failed confessions?" Well, guys have a tendency to rush into things or to think about them too much. You can't be reckless but you can't also be overly cautious.

If you want to learn the steps on how to tell a girl you like her without ruining the friendship, read on.

Step 1: Avoid Sounding Desperate.

True love or not, you must not beg her to return your love. You must also not cling on to her like a baby would to its mother. Even if you feel desperate inside, you must not show it. Why?

Because desperation puts the girl you like in an uncomfortable situation. She may feel flattered at first; but then, she'll start hating you for making her feel under the microscope. She'll start resenting your presence. All these may sound illogical but emotions are hardly logical, don't you think?

So when you feel the urge to confess your love, don't do it while drunk. Read through the next steps first to know exactly how to tell a girl you like her without ruining the friendship.

Step 2: Reassure Her Of Your Friendship.

When you're ready to confess, don't dive in and tell her that you like her before she even has the chance to say hello. Learning how to tell a girl you like her is a game of strategy.

First, tell her how much you value your friendship and how you've come to depend on her for a lot of things over the years. Then, tell her that what you have to say might come as a surprise; but by no means do you want it to end your friendship. Pause for a bit and brace yourself before telling her about your feelings.

After the confession, tell her that you don't expect anything in return. It was just something you had to say. If she feels the same way, then hurrah! But if she doesn't, reassure her that your friendship is still what's most important to you and that you don't want to ruin it.

If you need time to recover from rejection, tell her you need a few days to yourself but you'll see her again next week. Do this in a playful manner so as to lighten up the situation.

Step 3: Don't Change.

Change makes girls uncomfortable. So if you want to know how to tell a girl you like her without ruining the friendship, I suggest acting like a friend and not like a lovesick puppy. Don't start touching her inappropriately.

Don't start showering her with gifts. Keep your non-friend forms of affection to yourself. Even after your confession, don't change. A lot of guys make that mistake. Don't be one of them.

While these tips can help you learn how to tell a girl you like her without ruining the friendship, there is no guarantee that things will end smoothly. Every girl is different. Every friendship is different. It all boils down to how much she values you as a friend.
