How To Tell Your Crush You Like Him Without Really Telling Him

1.)Find More Ways To Be With Him.

Spending more time with your guy gives him the opportunity to discover what a cute, smart, sexy thing you are. He’ll realize just how highly you value his opinion, and he’ll think you’re one of the coolest chicks he’s ever met. Now pay attention: this is a tricky tip that must be carried out with precision—bonding with him is a surefire way to get closer to him, but it can also put you in the dreaded You’re-Like-A-Sister-To-Me Zone. Our anti-ate tip? Wear lip gloss.

2.)Be A Bit More Physical With Him!

Touch is a great indicator of attraction, but once again we must restrain our cavewoman urges—no saccharine-sweet cooing, and no anaconda-like wrapping of one’s self onto his arm. Let’s make that clear: When you touch a person, they become more aware of you somehow. Now when you start strangling a person via tight hugs, these people turn purple and die. Got it? Good.

3.)Wear Perfume

You’ve heard of pheromones, right? Those “love scents” we supposedly give off to attract the opposite sex? Well, wearing perfume will help those hard-working pheromones send your message across. Scientific studies have proven certain smells trigger feelings of love and attraction from the opposite sex. It is also the most enduring memory that stays in our minds, so at the very least, your main man will always be reminded of you whenever he gets a whiff of your favorite cologne.

4.)Bait Him

By baiting, we mean introducing the topic about the possibility of the two of you being an item, but in a light and casual manner. Like eating a bag of chips. If he hasn’t entertained thoughts of you liking him, this tactic will gently lead him to it.

This amorous move is also a good gauge of whether he really likes you back or not. A word of caution: if you’re not ready to hear a negative answer, don’t use this technique.

This applies to crushes you already know and have been good friends with for some time, so readers who are crushing from afar can take a 10-minute breather. Here’s a sample dialogue you can use over lunch, or while hanging out at the tambayan.

example:

You: (Half-laughing) Oooh, guess what? I dreamt pala last night na parang we were walking in the garden, and it was like, we were boyfriend-girlfriend!

Him: Really?

You: Yup! We were holding hands and all.

Him: Ows?

You: (Remember to stay calm and casual.) As in, super sweet! Weird, huh? (Tease him casually at this point and laugh.)

Remember to stay loose and casual during this conversation, as if it didn’t mean a thing in the world. If you start stammering or blushing, you might as well paint “I Love You!” on your forehead and dance the “Otso-otso” in front of him.
