Say it or show it; either way you have to take the risk and explicitly let him know how you feel. This whole ''how do I signal my intent without explicitly signaling my intent'' is something a lot of people inexperienced at dating try to do, because it feels safer and has deniability if the other person doesn't reciprocate.
The problem with that strategy is that it usually doesn't work: the other person isn't a mind reader, and may be just as afraid of taking the risk of making the first move as you are.
Keep it simple at first and make up excuses to get him alone with plausible deniability, then ramp up the flirting.
Wishing you the best of luck.11 Reply
Asker+1 yHe knows I'm interested, I know he is interested. But we are both the types who don't express things with words. U can call us immature lol. Thanks for advice :)

Then if he reacts positively, you have your permission, swoop in for your reward. Then start talking to him about a future, a sin relationship. If that's your motivation.

I'm not really a fan of grabbing people and doing things to them against their will, but it's your arse that will be thrown in jail for assault, not mine.

Asker+1 yHoney please. Assault and jail. Get off those mushrooms. He likes me. I don't care about your a$$.
Asker+1 ywho said we are not dating. Crush = someone who is not your boyfriend. There u go.
Asker+1 yAww assaulting the public. How cute. And I'm gonna follow your "advice" because u are? Yep nobody. Byeeeeeeee Felicia
Asker+1 yhahahaha thats insane.
K, I get u. Won't do it cuz people are so damn sensitive. That sexual assault thing is ridiculous, its not just some random guy I like. But anyway. I UNDERSTAND.- +1 y
LaVilaine you're stealing my air too! That's theft! Omg did you just roll your eyes? That's harassment!

@Heart_Whisperer if it's assault when a dude does it, it's assault when a woman does it. Any unwanted touch is assault.

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/sexual+assault
"Sexual assault: molestation => the act of subjecting someone to unwanted or improper sexual advances or activity (especially women or children)."
Asker+1 ySave that to yourself. It's a guy i know, it's a guy who likes me. Molestation b please.
Asker+1 yI'm not u. People do like me :)
TECHNICALLY that could be considered sexual assault, and I think a lot of guys here are bitter because although they'd do the same thing, they feel like as guys, people are more likely too see it as a sexual attack rather than a romantic gesture, than if a woman did it.
but if you're sure he likes you, go for it-just try not to be tooo forceful, and just lean in for it rather than grabbing him lol11 Reply
Asker+1 yEven though I disagree with the sexual assault part I like your answer. I wouldn't just go kiss a random dude. No woman likes to be rejected.
Ok I won't grab him xD
honestly id be pretty shocked if this happened. The first thing i;d think is "okay... she could have just talked to me about it first." he's probably not going to see it as hot and spontaneous and make you more attractive, he'll probably just wonder why you did it in such a weird way

Asker+1 yOk, thats an honest answer, thanks.

Asker+1 yOk. Thanks for your answer :)
+1 yDepends. Does he like you back?
But anyway, if you want to do it, go for it. Most guys totally love it when a girl makes the first move11 Reply
Asker+1 yHe likes me yes. Dont know if I'll go for it. No matter how forward I want to be as u see not everyone appreciates it.
If a guy did the same thing to a girl it would be considered sexual assault and maybe even attempted rape...
Dont be a fucking idiot.. Just because you're a woman dosen't make that okay...315 Reply
Asker+1 ySexually harassing? What are u smoking?
Anyway bye
Asker+1 yThis a$$ is too good for him to be creeped out :)
Asker+1 yUr the salty one. Sexual assault pfff
Asker+1 yIts ok, I dont like u either
Asker+1 yI'd never like u. First u are 17 and second u whine a lot. Guys want my attention all the time :) they'd be honored if they knew I even asked this question. Go play some video games, child.
Asker+1 yNo, I'm happy here on my fucking high horse. My high horse is sending his greetings.
Asker+1 yI'm older and I have a right to bitch about things. The older u get the more u bitch. It's how mother nature works.

First of all you can make things awkward even if he is into you. And if he isn't, things can backfire badly.111 Reply
Asker+1 yDayum. U see thats why girls always take the backseat cuz men dont like women being forward. He does like me though... guess I'll have to wait for him to do that
- +1 y
I didn't say you shouldn't make a move, but I said doing that move is a bad idea because it will quite likely backfire.
Asker+1 yOk I won't do it. But can u pls tell me why he wouldn't like it?
- +1 y
If you want to make a dramatic a foreword move try
"I'm going for lunch at X. Fancy a free lunch?"
Asker+1 y@RandomBritishGuy94 but we are a bit passed that, we flirt a lot and we like each other. Oh well I'll go with that.
- +1 y
If all you have done is flirt you are not past having an actual date. That would be the next logical step.
Asker+1 y@RandomBritishGuy94 we are dating... I use the word crush cuz he is not my boyfriend. A guy I'm crushing on.
Asker+1 y@RandomBritishGuy94 but we haven't been intimate but that speaks for itself
- +1 y
Asker, you needed 5 comments to clarify you are dating and thus it is more than a crush. If this is how you communicate, I am pretty sure the guy isn't sure at what he is with you either. Communicate properly, express what you want to express and dont let people drag everything out of you. You are dating, but not a step further? Then tell him you want to take things a step further.
- +1 y
Have to agree with the guy above. Maybe edit the original question to tell people you're dating because that's not what I got from anything you posted before hand.
If you're dating saying "I want to have sex" will probably lead to sex. At the very least a conversation on it. Throwing yourself on him still isn't the right course of action because, as said above, he's probably confused by your actions as well.
+1 yDo it! Treat life like a chick flick! Everyone's afraid of everything these days. Pussies lol

Asker+1 yI like your attitude! Yes, everybody is so politically correct here. Don't do this, don't say thay...

Ask him on a date. For all you know he'll say yes... or no and you'll feel like an idiot for the way you were going to act.10 Reply
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yHey.. I want to do this to my crush too! But , i'm not that pretty so he might reject me :(

Asker+1 yHaha u rock! Im afraid no matter how spontaneous we want to be its better waiting for him to make that step. Sucks for us impatient girls.
Go for the flirting first. Most likely he has no idea you like him so the shock would definitely turn him off of you.

Asker+1 yWe are already flirting and he likes me but I'm getting impatient
632 opinions shared on Dating topic. Don't do that. Just give him hints that you want him to kiss you. Look into his eyes, glance at his lips. Guys take note of these things, and if they're willing to kiss you, they will go along with it.

Then I would say go for it! Sounds like you have a better than 50% chance that he will kiss you back!
It's not horrible. I guess it depends on what kind of guy he is. Maybe try to start up a conversation or ask him out first.
