Step
Part 1 of 4: Gathering Courage
Step 1. Build your romantic relationship
Spending time alone allows you and him to get to know each other more deeply. Get rid of distractions like cell phones, uninvited guests or loud music whenever you can. Getting to know him better and spending time with him is an important part of building a romantic relationship.
You won't know what activities you both enjoy unless the two of you communicate with each other. Choose activities you can do together such as studying, hiking or eating together. Make sure it's clear that you're enjoying your time with him and that you seem to appreciate how far you've come to get to know each other
Step 2. Don't let fear beat you
If you're afraid of rejection, confessing your feelings can be scary. However, you should also realize that regret can be just as powerful as fear. Realize that expressing your feelings and knowing the truth are the only ways to overcome both the fear of rejection and regret. Just getting it out of the chest is already something of a relief.
Step 3. Be honest about your feelings
Do you really love him or is all this just lust or lust for a moment? Can you lose your friendship with him? Don't be his best friend hoping that you'll be able to change his mind about you someday. This is unfair to him because friendship should be based on mutual trust and respect. If you really love him, you will first and foremost be a good friend.

Analyzing your own feelings can be difficult, but there are some scientifically proven signals that can indicate you're in love. Do you show any of the following feelings?
- If you feel that she is a unique person, it may be because your brain has increased levels of focus and attention.
- If you think he's perfect and only focus on his positive qualities, it may be because your memory has improved to accommodate your new feelings of love.
- If you feel like you're breaking down because of your new love, it's because studies have shown that falling in love involves brain activity similar to being addicted to similar mood swings.
- Going through a difficult event can also make you fall in love because your brain produces more dopamine, a chemical that plays a role in giving you a sense of satisfaction and pleasure.
- If you feel obsessed with him, it may be because your brain has reduced levels of the central serotonin associated with obsessive behavior.
- People who are in love also show signs of emotional dependence that make them want to be with their loved ones and wish they could stay together forever.
- when you are in love, you may feel as if you would do anything for her because you have a greater sense of empathy for the woman you love.
- A number of studies have shown that falling in love has to do with the union of feelings, not about sexual relations.
- A number of studies have also shown that people who are in love feel that their love is uncontrollable.
Step 4. Don't try to read his mind
Be candid when expressing yourself. Don't feel like you know how he feels. Always ask him to open up respectfully and thank him for opening up to you. Opening up is an important part of expressing your love for each other.
Step 5. Stay positive
Love is a very strong feeling and usually develops over time. Watch how your relationship with him develops over time and focus on all the positive feelings you have shared together. If you feel that your love for him has grown fast enough, stay positive that there is no better time to express your feelings. There will be many reasons for you not to do something, so be brave and follow your heart.
Part 2 of 4: Expressing Love
Step 1. Choose the right time and place
Do not let your attention be distracted by outside factors. Approach him when you can talk to him in a fairly private setting and when neither of you feel pressured. Find a quiet place or make an appointment to make sure you're both mentally and emotionally ready. Expressing love should be a joyous occasion, so make sure you've created a situation where he can fully process his thoughts and emotions.
You shouldn't express your love for him when you're distracted by other friends or when he has to work late to meet a work deadline from an important client
Step 2. Pay attention to body language and the way you carry yourself around him
Talk to him whenever you can and start with a smile. Focus on your posture and maintain eye contact. Be friendly and joke around if you can, but don't be rude. Don't overdo it, because a smile and a wave alone can really help you get to know him.
- Involve him in a conversation by starting with "How are you?" simple one.
- You will look weird or scary if you stand by him without saying anything. If you don't know what to say because you're nervous, just say hello and keep walking or talk to someone else.
Step 3. Find out more about him and his friends
His friends are his support system and will protect him, so make a good impression and be genuinely interested in them. Making yourself loved by his friends will let them know that you really care about his well-being.
Step 4. Understand that men tend to say "I love you" first
A number of studies have shown that it's easy for men to say "I love you" first because they don't want to lose a relationship while women want to make sure their relationship is worth the investment so they tend to wait. Therefore, before you say "I love you", prove that you are worthy of him and don't make him hesitate to love you back.
Step 5. Let your attitude prove yourself more than just words
There are many sources that give examples of romantic acts, but love is something personal. Only you know how to express your love and what will make her happy. Whether it's buying him flowers after he's had a busy day, singing his favorite song to surprise him, or simply holding hands every day while you drive him home from school, showing that your love for him is not just a one-time act but more of a state of mind that informs everything you do. do.
Step 6. Communicate politely and openly
The best way to express love to him is frankly. There was no point in trying to manipulate him or trying to wait for him. Give him time to process his thoughts and feelings. He may say that he wants to just stay as friends so be prepared to review your own feelings and what role he will play in the continuation of your life.
Step 7. Recognize that the word love can have different emotional contexts for different people
Some people may find it very difficult to hear or use the word. No matter how you express your feelings, make sure that he really understands your intentions.
For example, if you know that he feels awkward and restless every time the two of you watch the end of a romantic comedy when the characters finally say "I love you," don't do the same thing. Instead, let him know how much you love him sincerely but casually and let him understand that you want to take it a step further in your relationship
Step 8. Be prepared to face any obstacles
Religious or cultural differences, or the presence of an abusive family member can all affect the way he or she responds to you. Don't forget to always respect who he is, because if you truly love him, you'll know a lot about him and know how to enable you to overcome whatever obstacles may come your way.
If he's hesitant but still says yes, talk about it and follow the rules he's set to put his mind at ease. If he asks you to get to know his parents first because of his family's cultural traditions, take the invitation as an honor and follow his lead. If he doesn't want to be physically intimate during the relationship, don't push him to do it
Part 3 of 4: Moving Forward
Step 1. Maintain your composure
Whether he says he loves or rejects you, express yourself wisely. Especially if you are in public. Don't be a jerk and throw a tantrum if your feelings are hurt.
Step 2. Respect the reaction
If he doesn't love you, remember that he's still the same person you've developed a strong bond with, so continue to respect him. You can't force someone to like or love you.
Do not react or ignore him. Women are sensitive to interpersonal cues so blank expressions or ignoring them can make the situation worse
Step 3. Celebrate your maturity and fortitude
If you've known each other and developed a strong relationship based on respect and open communication, chances are he or she will express the same feelings of love. Be proud to be able to express your feelings to the world and celebrate this achievement with him. Even if the affection he feels for you only extends to the friendship stage, be grateful for your personality development. Share your experiences with others and know that you are not alone.
Use the help of friends, family and other parts of your support system to deal with rejection
Step 4. Continue to build your relationship
If you truly love someone, you will respect them, love them and be there for them in good times and bad. Love may feel like riding a roller coaster but the scariest part is taking the first jump and confessing your love for him.
Get reassurance. If he doesn't have the same feelings for you, don't keep pushing. Learn to accept fate and stay optimistic that there is something special for you that lies ahead. This may be difficult but take as much time as you need to go through it. This is why there are so many sad songs and movies about love that can help cheer you up
Step 5. Know when to leave the friendship status
There's no point trying to manipulate him or trying to wait for him to change his mind. If you express love to him and he replies that he doesn't feel the same way but wants to remain friends, politely decline.
Your feelings may be too hurt after rejection to be able to maintain a friendship. Friendship is something that is based on mutual respect and mutual support. Ask yourself if you can really give that to him once you've made it clear that you see him as more than just a friend. Can you still be his friend if he is in a relationship with someone else?
Part 4 of 4: When Should You Try This?
Step 1. Express your love when you are sure that you really feel in love
The feeling of true love is hard to suppress. When there is love overflowing inside of you, expressing it is the most natural thing you can do. There's always a risk, because you can't read other people's minds or change their feelings. If you know what you're feeling is true love (not just lust), plan the best way to express it to him.
Step 2. Wait until you get to know him well enough
If the relationship is new, confessing your love to her right away may be too soon - even if you're sure you really love her. Love takes time to develop and you'd better make sure that he's had enough time to see you from the romantic side before revealing your feelings. You shouldn't seem too eager. Once you've been friends with him for some time and have spent some time understanding how each other expresses your love and affection, you can express your love for him and get a positive response.
Step 3. Avoid placing it in an awkward position
This is different for everyone, but there are some circumstances that make most girls don't want to hear a declaration of love. If you're not quite sure that he has strong feelings for you, it might not be a good idea to share those deep feelings with him. Think twice about confessing your love to him in the following situations:
- You two are just friends
- You don't know him very well
- You say love for the first time in front of other people (even in front of friends or family)
- You feel that you will urge him to reply by saying "I love you"
Tips
- Believe in yourself. Look her in the eye, stand up straight and smile. Most importantly, speak without hesitation, especially if you usually act shy on a daily basis. You have to show that you believe in the words that come out of your mouth and can back them up with the power of your love.
- If you've been friends with him for a long time and now want more, he may not see you romantically. In cases like this, you have to accept his feelings. Changing yourself is not the answer. If he doesn't love you for who you are, as opposed to the personality you created to fulfill his desires, you could be neglecting your role and all feelings he had for the 'different you' will be lost.
- Don't tell anyone you know that you love him or her before you tell him directly. It's not good for him to find out on his own instead of directly from you.
- An action is worth more than a thousand words. Show him that you love him instead of just saying it.
Warning
- No means no. If he rejects you, remember that there are plenty of other girls out there. Persistence can be a good thing at the beginning of your relationship with him, but not after the point when you express your feelings. Love is not a negotiation.
- Don't confess to someone if you don't really love them. Manipulating someone into sex is disgusting and often illegal.
