"What is the barrier that love cannot break?" - Gandhi
Do you like someone and don't know how to show them? Here are some tips.
1. Mention that you are single
The first step to showing them you're interested is letting them know you're single. You can emphasize this fact in almost every conversation. Mention that you are looking for a relationship. Mention that you are currently available. Maybe even mention what type of person you're looking for and describe them.
2. Praise them
You don't want to be cheesy, but you don't want to give them a strictly friendly compliment. If you praise them in person, face to face, you can emphasize and show your point of view with your tone and movements as well. If you're complimenting them via social media or texting, a few emojis might make your intentions clear. Before you hit send, read what you wrote. Ask yourself if you would think someone was flirting with you if you received this same message. If not, write another one.
3. Break through the obstacle with a touch
Again, you don't want to cross any lines and be inappropriate, but you do want to make it clear that you see them as more than a friend. You can start by placing your hand on their arm while you talk, or simply sit close to them. Eventually, you can move closer, perhaps placing your hand on their thigh, waist, or cheek. Kiss them. Make it clear to them that you want them.
4. Make eye contact
Although you're probably nervous whenever they walk into the room, it's important to make eye contact with them. Actions can speak much louder than words, especially at the beginning of a relationship. Did you know that you can create sexual tension without even opening your mouth?
5. Start a conversation
You can stare at them in love every time you see them. You might like every photo they post on social media, but that won't give them a real hint that they're interested. You will have to take more, a bigger step - talk to them. The more you get to know them, the more comfortable you will feel around them and the better your chances of developing a relationship.
6. Surprise them with actions
Bake them cakes. Recommend movies, books, and bands that you think they'll like. By making it clear to them that you were thinking of them and that you were willing to go out of your way to put them in a good mood, your interest will be pretty obvious.
7. Ask them out
Make room in your schedule for you to spend quality time together. Make sure they know you make them a priority. Make sure they know you're excited about them. And when you hug them, watch what happens. Watch how they react when you approach them.
8. Tell them how you feel
This sounds scary, but sometimes it's the only way. Some people don't notice your effort and therefore don't see the clues. Others have low self-esteem and would never think they are interested in you. If you want them to understand how you feel about them, you will have to be brave and say these words out loud.
