Q&A for How to Tell a Girl You Like Her Without Getting Rejected

Be confident. Approach her like you would anyone else, and do not act like you think she's out of your league. Be direct and ask her out. If she says no, there's nothing you can do about that, but having confidence will give you a good chance with her.

You could, but it's not as powerful as doing so in person.

Just try to find a place where you can be alone and tell her how you feel. Tell her it's totally fine if she doesn't feel the same way and you still want to be friends no matter what. If she rejects you, you might feel a little awkward at first, but it will get easier with time.

Be yourself and approach her in a friendly way. Treat her with kindness and try to get to know her. If she doesn't like you for you, she's not worth your time.

It sounds like she's not interested.

Make eye contact often. If you're looking at her and she catches your glance, look away and immediately lock eyes again, and maybe smile at her. If she smiles back, she might be interested.

Compliment her! It's okay to compliment her looks sometimes, but it's even better to note her talents, accomplishments, etc. If you think she's smart, tell her that. If you've noticed she's a good artist, tell her. These compliments show that you've really been paying attention to her, rather than just noting her physical appearance.

She was probably just saying that so she didn't have to tell the guy she wasn't interested in him, or she likes someone else and she's waiting on that guy to ask her out (or planning to ask him out herself).

Find out whether or not she is interested in girls first. You can ask her, you can ask her friends, or you can try asking leading questions, like, "Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?" If you find out she does like girls, tell her how you feel. There's no way to guarantee you won't be rejected, but you'll never get anywhere in life if you don't take risks!

Just breathe. Remember that getting rejected for a date is not the worst thing in the world, and it happens to everyone. Even the most attractive person you can think of has been rejected. It's a part of life. If they say no, just say "Thanks anyway" and move on.

Comment about the little things no one seems to notice about. For instance, if someone is wearing a new shirt today, compliment him/her with "That color looks good on you," or, "I like your new shirt, you have great taste!" Try not to bulldoze everyone around you with compliments, though, it might make you come across as fake. Sound genuine, like you really enjoy his/her presence.

Don't ask a girl out multiple times. You should ask twice at the absolute most. Ask respectfully without any kind of sexual innuendo, and it's unlikely she will think you're a pervert.

After school is always an option. At lunch you could ask her to take a walk around campus, and the movement should keep it private.

Get to know her first. Strong connections are needed before actually asking.

Slow your roll. If you just come out of the blue with that to someone you haven't talked to for a long time, you're likely to scare the person off. Say hi, get reacquainted, get to know the other person better, and take things slow.

It really depends on your mistake. If you messed up with the girl before, apologize for whatever you did and think about giving her some space for a while before asking her out. If it was something that happened a long time ago, she may have forgotten all about it.

If you see her from a distance and your eyes meet randomly, they might like you. When telling someone you like them, never send a text to them. Instead, get it over with and tell them face to face.

Write her a song. Even if you can’t sing, the emotion is still there. If she truly likes you, she’ll appreciate the gesture.

Tell them that you're flattered, but you're already seeing someone. Don't be the person that cheats on their significant other or breaks up with them at the first sign that somebody better might be coming along. This will reflect poorly on you, and you probably won't find yourself any happier with the new person.

Be confident and approach her by introducing yourself. If she builds up a conversation, you might have a chance with her.

Of course, just be careful with how you phrase things, as "unique" can sometimes be a delicate way of telling someone they're odd and can lead to offense being taken.

Give her some space and don't pressure her for an answer or response. If you're her friend, just act like everything is normal until she tells you how she feels.

Ask her why she's afraid, and try to talk things through with her. Maybe you can help her get past her trust issues (or whatever else is going on). If that's not possible, just give her some space and let her decide what she wants to do. Don't wait around forever, though.

Maybe she just needs to think about how she wants to respond. Give her a little time. If she still hasn't given you an answer after a few days, you should assume she's not interested.

You should talk to your best friend about this. See if you can work something out, even if it's just that neither of you ask him/her out. A potential boyfriend/girlfriend is not worth ruining a good friendship over.

You don't, as just blurting it out it is awkward for her (especially if you don't know her well), and there are steps you need to take first. You tell a girl you like her, and she then either tells you she's interested in you romantically or she's not. If she's interested, you ask her on a date, to a dance, etc. You then get to know her better as a person and do some flirting (you'll find good advice in Flirt). If she seems to be receptive, lean in for a kiss and see if she responds.

She may just be leading you on because she knows you like her and she likes the attention you give her. Your options are to either ignore the signals (probably the best option to avoid drama), or have a talk with her and ask her if she's interested in you, and if so, if she plans to break up with her current significant other.

Just take it in. Life isn't over from getting rejected.

You should just be honest, and ask the girl if she likes him, or what their relationship status is. If she tells you they are just friends, proceed to asking her out. If she admits to having feelings for him, you should probably just be her friend.
