If you are even the slightest bit human, you have had some type of crush before. Maybe it was a small one, or maybe it was a crush that took over your mind - someone you thought about every second of every day. We've all had a crush that we couldn't be honest with about our feelings - out of embarrassment or even because it would have made your entire relationship awkward. Most people have played the entire situation in their head of what they would say when finally professing their feelings to their crush. We spend days replaying and rewinding of what to say and then editing the kinks and memorizing it so it's just right. But in the end, we don't think about how unnecessary that is. It only stresses us out more, and even causes us to stutter when we encounter them because we didn't remember the exact right words and we start to panic.
We all want to tell our crush right away that we like them, but if you want more luck along the way, it's easier to have already spent quality time with them before you go pouring your feelings out to them. It's easier for them to realize that you're actually feeling something if they can recall awesome memories you have had together. In the end, maybe that will be your source of luck! Going to breakfast or lunch together and having a good conversation can really help your chances.
There are of course a million ways to admit to your crush that you like them. But only some ways are efficient and won't leave you wanting to curl up into a ball. When you want to tell a guy or girl you like them, always be sure that you are being yourself because you don't want them to fall in love with the idea of you, you want them to fall in love with you as a person.
When you are preparing yourself to tell your crush you like them, make sure you go to a place where you know it's possible for them to talk to you honestly. Peer pressure is real, and people may react different if they see their friends or your friends around them. It's easier to be straight up about it when you are trying to tell them, rather than going on and on and leaving them confused. Just be confident in yourself when you are telling the person of your dreams that you have fallen for them.
Whatever happens, just be sure that throughout the entire process, you are 100 percent authentic. If you're authentic, you might be one step closer to having a happy ending.
