s this the only way I can tell him without talking to him?

You could also email or text him if you're just too shy to do it. My girlfriend is shy too, and I didn't know for a year that she liked me until one of her friends told me and then she finally got the guts to tell me that she wanted to get to know me. I was totally in love with her from day one when I found out because it was so sweet! I don't think it matters which way you do it as long as you find a way to let him know! Good luck! :)

i feel so sorry for shy girls . the shyness is a turn on for me I love when a girl is trying to let me now she likes me, and she is blushing definitely raises their chances with me. I think you should just tell him.

best thing to do is just try your best to build up courage and talk to him if you get someone to talk for you it's going to seem real childish just be brave and remember if he denies you he's just a boy whatever just be you I mean if you can't build up enough courage to talk to him how can you build enough courage to go out on a date or to spend any alone time with him.
