How do I tell a guy I don't really talk to that I have a crush on him?

[grunge_bunni]

ok so there's this guy in my school, Jarod, he's 1 year ahead of me and we don't really have friends that are in the same friend circle (we have a couple in common but they aren't good enough friends that it would let us be around each other a lot). We see each other in the halls and stuff all the time, we're always staring at each other (yes, him too). We've had a couple conversations here and there but not huge or often. it might seem simple, n just tell me to go up to him but here's where we run into a problem, he's always with his best friend, Jayden, i hate him, he's an asshole to every girl except to the ones he has a crush on. A year ago we ran into some problems, my friend was talking to my crush on snap innocently, they felt absolutely nothing for each other, it wasn't even platonic, they just talked to each other once in a while, but not in person. So Jarod must've brought it up at some point to Jayden or something and Jayden started harassing my friend, following her and teasing her about Jarod, pushing them together in the hallways, audibly whispering to Jarod when we were near by, and it just escalated from there. ANYWAYS, after a month or so of that happening Jarod pretty much ghosted my friend and Jayden stopped harassing her, but they both still gave my friend looks in the hallway for obvious reasons. Ever since then its just been awkward with both of them. i feel like Jayden would do the same to me if i ever approached Jarod or if me and Jarod started talking or dating. This isn't some small crush i've liked him for over a year now and its only gotten worse and worse for me. i have a feeling he likes me too (he's always glancing in my direction, especially when i'm alone). what should i do?

Man, I felt this like I was in my teens again. So I had this huge crush on this varsity basketball player. He was two years older than me, he was a senior. He was popular hanging out with his cool friends. But one of his friends’ girlfriend is my classmate. I befriended her and we’d be hanging out with the team after class when they’re doing their practice. And my crush was obviously there. So she introduced me to him and I almost passed out! 🤣 anyways, we’d hang out more and more and let me tell you something, if the feeling is mutual, you don’t need words to express how you guys feel. Make your moves. Get close to him if you know he likes you too. Meet him halfway. Smile, say hi. Talk to him. Let him know you exist! good luck!

If I were you I would write him. Ask him if he wants to hang out. Then you can be alone with him and talk then.

I’ll be honest…. I didn’t read your story at all. The reason is my response won’t change if I did.


How do you tell him? You just tell him!


Try this: Darn, you know I’ve been crushing on you for some time now!”


If I had a crush on a girl… one I never talked to this is exactly what I would go. No games are needed. Guys want girls and girls want guys… just try honesty.

Maybe try approach in a neutral setting and either when he is alone or he has more than one friend in his group. Also if his friend starts harassing you or giving you hard times tell your crush and he might give his friend a talking to especially if he likes you. His friend is just worried or jealous that if he as a girlfriend there be less time for him to hang with him.

Smile more to him and wave and make eye contact more , have an open body language too , but I guess that's not enough since u don't talk , I think it's better to just tell him

[Losalt]

Hum...
My two suggestions is either ask him if you can have a word with him in private, or slip him a note.

[Nikki1989]

You walk up to him and tell him face to face.

[MementoMori777]

approach him when he is alone and tell him, or ask him for his social media, from there it should get easier

[RealMarek]

Ask him to meet you for coffee or something when Jayden isn’t around, then get to know him if he accepts.

[Jhunitor]

The direct approach is the best :

"Hey I find you attractive/cute/handsome/whatever do you have time to have a drink with me so we can get to know each other?"

[slatyb]

You invite him to join you for anything. Lunch, a walk, anything.

[Staximus]

If he's not a coward then he won't let his dumb friend bother you. If he lets his friend bother you then he's a coward and not worth your time.

[Wise4myage]

Don't tell him you have a crush on him, and focus on making an effort to flirt a bit with him.

[OfDeath]

Does he know you're getting free crushes on him?

I think the right thing to do is tell him.

[ButthurtGAGpeople1]

Then how do you know you have a crush on him, if you don't talk to him. Sounds like you're really just lusting him

I could start a rumor that Jayden is experiencing homosexual attraction towards Jarod. It’s only wrong to do if it’s a lie, which it doesn’t sound like. Jayden is a fruity cock blocker.

Just write a note, be honest and give your number, but be prepared for no response

[Anonymous]

if he likes you he will ask you out


he just likes you as a friend

[sheikalana]

If you want to tell him you need to talk to him.

[In_Trance]

tell him, the way you'd want him to tell you

[Iron_Man]

To young to date enjoy your youth

Sign language?

[Avicenna]

Be bold- ask him out
