Telling your crush you like them isn’t such a big deal… or is it? I mean, if they feel the same, this could be the beginning of a whole new era. If they don’t, well, that one is going to hurt. We all go in hoping that our crush’s response will be positive. After all, we’re pretty cool, right? Or I’m just lame. That’s why it’s important to know that your delivery is just as important as the message. Most people don’t want to be proposed to while they’re taking out the trash or using the bathroom. It’s the same with confessing to a crush. How and where you do it is key. That’s why today we’re going to dive into 8 ways on how to tell your crush you like him.
1. Do it with food.
You can forget the saying “Money is power.” Food holds the real power, baby. There’s an old adage that says, “A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” No, this isn’t a crazy message in a horror movie. It’s about the power of a delicious meal. Tell your crush you like him through something yummy. This could be an actual meal, or something even easier like cakes, muffins, or cookies. Extra props if you can make it yourself, but it’s not a necessity. There’s a reason we refer to things as “comfort food”, and there’s no better way to make this weird situation more comfortable than with a full stomach and a happy face. You can tell your crush in person while sharing this meal, or even send him the food with a handwritten message if you’re on the shier side.

2. Wait until a day he feels accomplished, and do it in person.
The timing of your confession should be right, especially since you’re probably hoping for a positive response from your crush. What better way to better your odds than catching him in a moment where he’s already on an emotional high? This could be something like the hours after winning a sports match, or after he’s finally completed a big project. Good news is always good news, but a double dose of it just makes for an amazing day. Fingers crossed your confession will be the second piece of good news he gets that day!
3. Send him a personalized Snapchat.
And this is if you both have Snapchat. If not, then other social media outlets will do. But snaps are always fun to receive, but there’s an edge thrown in when you know that it was made especially for you. Sending a personalized Snapchat to your crush will be sure to catch his attention, and even catch him off guard. You have the possibility that he answers you with his own personalized Snap and the benefit of seeing exactly when he opens your message. So, then you’ll know that he has actually seen it.
4. Make a scavenger hunt that leads to your confession.
A little mystery is always intriguing. I mean, if not, it wouldn’t be its own genre of movies and books, now would it? What better way to add intrigue than with a scavenger hunt? This will have your crush on his toes for a while, as his curiosity will peak the closer he gets to your final message. Feel free to get creative with this one, especially by using certain places and things that are special and shared between the two of you – like the first place you met or hung out. I’m just saying.
5. Create a meme.
Sending memes is a classic, but it’s so normal nowadays that it doesn’t really shout “special”. Creating a meme, though, now that’s a whole other story. Pick a character or image or him that really resonates with your friendship. This might include an inside joke, or something that you two have in common. Add a short message about confessing to your crush. The key here is making sure that it’s funny, but not over-the-top stepping-boundaries funny, as you’ll want to be sure your crush understands this is a real confession but with a meme.

6. Joke about it.
If you’re feeling really unsure about your confession, a joke may be ideal for you. It’s a good way to test out the water to gauge how your crush is feeling. I would aim to do it in person, as a person’s facial expressions often share way more than what they’re actually saying. Make a joke about you two dating, or about you liking them. Laugh a little and make eye contact to see how they react. If they go along with your joke, you may be in luck. If not, just be like, “ahhh, I got you! Look at your face turning white after telling you that I like you. Hahaha” This will hurt, but at least you get to save face.
7. Do it while you are both are playing a game.
A little competition between each other is great for both flirting and bonding. When you both are bonding, find a way to sneak in the 3 words, “I like you.” This works even better if you’re playing a game in which you two are on the same team. You’re already partners in the game and it’s working out great… why not in real life, too?
8. Ask him, “What if we were together?”
This is somewhat similar to the joking method, but this one is more in a defined tone. Posing a bit of a hypothetical question is awesome because it saves you the embarrassment of actually confessing, while still getting a response from your crush. You can start by asking him other hypothetical questions as a friendly conversation, then slip that question in there. You’ll be able to quickly see if he wishes it was real and not imaginary! This works great if you both are alone, and you straight up say it in a confident tone and don’t hesitate. Probably one of the best ways to tell your crush you like him.
