How To Tell a Guy You Like Him Without Scaring Him Off: 3 Proven Tips To Succeed
By Michael Lee

Guys are known for being less emotional creatures. However, that doesn't mean they don't feel anything when a girl confesses to them. Unfortunately, what happens sometimes is that guys get spooked by declarations of love. Here is an article that will teach you how to tell a guy you like him without scaring him off.

No. There's no need for a love potion or for that rope. Guys might run away at the first sign of a love confession; but when done correctly, you'll be able to successfully tell a guy you like him without scaring him off. Better yet, he might even reciprocate your feelings towards him.

Here's how to do it:

Tip # 1: Avoid Planning for the Future.

Most guys may not be ready for a commitment, but I can tell you that all guys will run away if you confess with a photo album of all your future children.

Yes, you are allowed to fantasize about a guy in that way; but don't ever let him catch you doing it. Unless of course, you two are already an item and in it for the long haul.

Tip # 2: Keep It Short and Sweet.

No need to tell him how many years you've spent pining after him. No need to tell him you swiped his handkerchief back in junior high either.

If you really want to learn how to tell a guy you like him without scaring him off, the best thing to do would be to shorten your lengthy love speech and go straight to the point. However, this will depend on how the guy reacts.

If he looks like he's ready to bolt, consider the expedition over. Don't go into panic mode and start blurting out all kinds of things to get him to stay. On the other hand, if he looks like he wants to know more, you can mention a small detail or two (nothing that screams stalker) and encourage him to say something.

Tip # 3: Don't be a Stalker.

You may have a very focused mind, but concentrating all your time and energy on one person can be pretty intimidating for any man.

If you want to know how to tell a guy you like him without scaring him off, don't do it in sneaky ways. Don't leave a secret admirer letter in his locker or in his car. One day you'll look back and cringe at how immature those moves are. Don't hover by his classroom door and corner him when the bell rings. Be casual about it. And no tears either! Nothing spooks guys out more than a girl crying.

These are some of the proven tips on how to tell a guy you like him without scaring him off. The truth is, guys can be highly unpredictable. Still, it's better to have confessed than to suffer through not having tried at all.
