I'm Sophie and I really like a guy in my school. His name is Bryan and it makes my heart beat when I see him. Once we did our homework together and he was very nice and friendly. I do not know how to tell him that I like him.
No one knows I like it except my close friend. She thinks I should be honest and tell her how I feel, but my knees shake every time I think of her. I'm shy and find it hard to talk about feelings. Is there any other way to tell him what I feel without telling him? Is there any other way for him to look at me not just as a friend?
Expert Answer:
Sophia, believe me! I know how you feel, because I went through this too. Your story reminds me of my first love story. I liked him so much that I thought from breakfast to dinner about him. Just like you, I asked my best friend for help and we made a plan on how to win her heart. First I think you should open your heart and talk about your feelings. I know it's hard, but it would break the ice.
What else can you do to make him fall in love? Let me tell you what I did in my time.
I asked him for help with small things.
I imitated it in some elegant ways. For example I found out he liked sky blue and I dressed the same.
I learned our common interests and talked to him about them.
I laughed at his joke.
I was honest with him.
And last but not least, I spent a lot of time with him.
