Remember that having the confidence to tell your crush how you feel will make you feel confident in your future relationships and choices.
When you tell your crush, look them in the eye and relax your body. Don’t stand too close to them or look at the floor, or you’ll look either too eager or too withdrawn. Use your crush’s name when you tell them how you feel. “Michael, there’s something I want to tell you. . . " sounds more personal than just saying, “I want to tell you something. " Don’t build up to the thing you have to say too much. This will only put pressure on yourself.
Talking over the phone will make you feel less nervous because you won’t see your crush face to face. Still, if you’re nervous, you can pace back and forth to get rid of some of that nervous energy. If you’re determined to tell your crush how you feel over the phone, you can also practice by calling one of your friends and rehearsing what you’d say first.
Be careful with notes - they can be lost or passed around, and you don’t want the wrong person to get the note!
Don’t have your friends tell them how you feel. If you want to look mature, you have to do it yourself. Don’t do it over social media. This will make you look like you’re not serious or confident enough to have the conversation in person. Don’t be too eager when you tell your crush how you feel. A simple “I like you” is far more effective and far less likely to scare them off than saying, “I’ve been in love with you since the second grade. . . “[3] X Research source
