Everyone has different approaches, and there isn't one way of doing it. Personally, I'd just tell them exactly how I feel, and keep it simple so they don't misunderstand. I might even give an explanation as to why I feel that way.

via coordinated song and dance

Now that is super awkward. I've had someone do that to me and I was pretty uncomfortable. :P

Well, to quote Old Brenden "...you know I like you, yeah?"

It's rather amusing when you don't even have to say due to a group of matchmaking cupids-in-waiting that are your closest friends. Downside to this though is they are always asking questions about how things are going! The simple answer is good :p

I did it through facebook beacuse i was too chicken to say it to his face. It took me ages to work up to doing it and was on the edge waiting for a response. Unfortunately he didn't feel the same, but he was nice about it and it was a good learning curve, if anything. Feel way more confident now!

Do it in a way that they would appreciate; also a way that doesn't make them feel awkward (good if they don't feel the same way as you do good if they do).

Invite them out for a nice dinner.

Drive to their place and pick them up.

Start driving towards a restaurant on the "outside of town"

Drive for a good 45 minutes turning every so often to make it a surprise about where you're actually going

Lock the doors.

Confess to her that the restaurant doesn't exist

Tell her you love her and that you want to be with her forever

Pull over.

Get gun out from under drivers seat

Murder suicide.

Fin.

Tell her the truth. If she does like you, she'll be happy. If she doesn't, there's not much waiting will do about that (unless she doesn't know you very well or something).

It works for some people, you can be great friends first then love each-other*. I speak from experience as a guy who was in and out of love with one of his best friends (and vice versa for them), sometimes it doesn't make things easier. You'd think it would. That aside, it makes you worry about ruining the friendship with it too, so, if you feel like you do like someone, telling them early might be a good idea.

You can come up with creative ways of doing it but all rivers lead toward the ocean eventually. You'll have to do pretty much the same thing no matter how you do it.

If you don't try though you have 100% chance of failing (unless you hit a really good coincidence or they tell you first). So, don't let the fear of a no hold you back. At least you tried then.

* Turns out there was a word for this, who knew?"..with two types of romantic styles: "storge" (affectionate love that develops from friendship)...  "

HUGS!!!!!!!!!!

You'd think so....

This one girl in high-school always wanted to hug me and kept asking for hugs. I just thought she was really friendly... Turns out i'm thick as two bricks.

Long story short though i managed to find out eventually and boom first partner.

I did it through facebook beacuse i was too chicken to say it to his face. It took me ages to work up to doing it and was on the edge waiting for a response. Unfortunately he didn't feel the same, but he was nice about it and it was a good learning curve, if anything. Feel way more confident now!

Bonus points for trying though. If you didn't try you would have had a 100% chance of it not working and at least it wasn't unresolved in your mind for ages.

I had this happen to me once and i did like her back so it worked out. It seems like a good way though if you really cant do it another way.
