You can do this by approaching them and simply asking, “Would you like to have lunch with me?” Make sure this person is aware that you want to do this as a potential couple and not simply as a friend date. If they do agree to go on a date with you, be straightforward with your intentions from the start.
Drop a few hints
Make eye contact when you're talking to them, or hold their gaze for a couple of extra seconds when your eyes meet in the hallway. You could playfully tease them, or send a flirty text after school to let them know you're thinking about them.
Conceal the extent of your feelings for him.
This may make him confess his feelings for you sooner. Give him a chance to miss you or wonder what you're doing. Allow him the opportunity to text or call you first. If he asks you what you're doing over the weekend, be honest, but make your plans sound exciting and rich.
"I'm really flattered by the attention you've been giving me lately, but just to be upfront with you, I'm not interested in you in that way. I think you're great, though, and I hope we can still be friends." "[Name], I think you're a great guy/girl. I'm just not feeling a connection here."
Try to encourage the other person and be kind. Let him/her know that they are a great person who just wasn't right for you, but who will surely find someone great soon. Thank him/her for the chance to get to know each other and offer your best wishes. Take special care rejecting a friend who wants more.
Staying friends with someone after developing real romantic feelings for them can be hard. However, many people have successfully remained friends after unrequited love confessions. Although it's common for two people not to be able to get past potential awkwardness, it can still be possible for some.
If you want to tell your crush you like him without blurting it out completely, one thing you can do is to give him a light touch or two. If you're talking to him or pass by him, you can give him a light touch on the shoulder or upper arm, or even playfully swat his arm if he's teasing you.
Someone who is your friend will stand or sit closer to you than an acquaintance. A person with a crush on you will stand near you, lean toward you, and look for reasons to get closer to you- whether it's intentionally walking past you at a close range, or leaning in closer than necessary to talk to you.
Start up a normal conversation before sharing your feelings.
Be open and honest about your feelings by telling them that you've developed feelings for them, and you thought it was important that they knew. You might say something like, “It's not easy for me to tell you this, but I've had a crush on you for awhile now.”
End Things in Person or in a Letter
You never want to end a friendship by text as your first option. It's always better to have a face-to-face conversation. But, if you don't feel comfortable doing that, send an email or write a letter. This might be the best option if the friendship has become especially toxic.
Instead of actively ignoring your friend or, even worse, hurting her feelings, be passive and let the friendship fade. Skip going out of your way to make plans with her, and focus on school and fam instead. Avoid gossiping to your other BFFs about what's up.
She is with someone else
This is by far the most common reason why a girl would reject a guy she likes. You have to understand that throughout our lives, we will develop an attraction to the people we meet.
Be honest, open, and direct, and let them know that you're interested in them. 5. Use a mutual friend: If you're too nervous to confess your feelings directly, you can ask a mutual friend to help you out. Ask them to talk to your crush and see if they feel the same way, or to pass on a message from you.
If a boy really has a crush on you, then he'll be likely to give you all of his attention. He'll turn his body toward you, make eye contact, and won't look around for his other friends or text them during your conversation (unless he uses his phone as a crutch because he's nervous).
Signs you just like the attention
If you're only talking to them for attention, Wood says you might notice the following red flags: You feel anxious without their time or attention. You're emotionally unavailable, and you keep your guard up. You don't know much about them beyond the surface (and you don't care to).
