My Crush Knows I Like Him – Now What?
So you finally told your crush you like him or uhm your friends or enemies did, now what are you going to do? It depends on whether you think he likes you, or not. The ultimate goal, of course, is to convince him that he does. Whilst sometimes that’s impossible, it’s often just a matter of getting him to notice you in the right way.
Relax and Smile
If at first you feel a little nervous (which is expected!) then try to relax. What he will notice about you is the things any guy will notice about you – your smile, how confident you seem and just in general how much you are enjoying your life. Be happy to be you and he will be happy to be around you. Even if he doesn’t come to fancy you, he can still come to enjoy your company.
If you find yourself getting nervous try thinking about it at home – how will you deal with his presence? Imagine him being there and you going about your day as normal. It may sound silly but sometimes we need a little practice in dealing with our crush.
Don’t Be Clingy
OK, so you might not run up to him and attach yourself to him. Especially if you don’t already know him very well. The point I’m making is that whilst it’s OK stealing glances at him ever so often, he might start getting uncomfortable if you are staring at him all the time when he’s around. Keep it cool. Don’t completely ignore him (that’s equally silly – you want him to notice you after all, how else will he fall for the fabulous you?), but also make sure he doesn’t get uncomfortable around you because you are giving him puppy eyes.
Remember men want to chase, not be chased. It’s sexy showing a little bit of interest and being flirtatious, being comfortable with flirting, but you also have to show you have a life. Show you aren’t intimidated by him knowing how you feel – you’re someone who shows interest to find out if there is interest. But you are too busy living your amazing life to care too much. If he’s interested, that’s great, but if he isn’t, you have more important things to do than waiting around. By showing you are happy, you don’t need his approval and that your life doesn’t stop in its tracks whenever he’s around, he will soon start trying to win you over if he has an interest.
If He Shows Interest, Take It Easy
When a guy you like shows interest in you, chances are you will get as excited as excited can be. Of course you will! Don’t throw yourself at him if he does though. Play it cool. After all, you are vetting him. Is he working hard enough to win you over? Having interest in someone means you have a certain level of attraction. It doesn’t mean you know if you would actually like to be dating them. He could prove to be a terrible friend, or have no clue of how to make you happy. Take your time to find out if he’s worth it.
Definitively don’t put the rest of your life on hold for him. Don’t answer every text you get immediately. Don’t reschedule you life to go on a date. Clearly show him you have a life you are happy with and if he gets to be part of it then he’s privileged.
Avoid Your Friends Giggling When He’s Around
If all your friends start giggling, pointing at him, or simply staring at him whenever he’s around, chances are he will be freaked out. Whilst some guys like that kind of attention, most don’t. Also, it puts him in a position where he knows how special he is to you. He shouldn’t be special until you find out how well he is going to treat you. Make your friends understand how important it is you that they behave nicely when he’s around.
Talk To Him
For anything to actually happen, you have to eventually talk to him. Take it easy. Start with passing comments and work your way to the point where you have a proper conversation. Show that you are cool around him. If he seems interested be flirtatious, but don’t overdo it. As mentioned earlier – let him work for it.

So he knows that I like him but won’t say that he knows. He’s been my friend for so long and that’s how he found out, the fact that he knows me so much. What should I do bc we live far away but I want him to like me too but I feel like he doesn’t like me. He has given hints that he may have a tiny crush on him but like, now what?

I told my crush I liked him over text, he told me he feels something towards me but doesn’t know what it is so we should give it some time to get closer. he feels awkward but I texted the next day as I would normally text but I can see from his replies he’s a bit shy. I dont know if I should ask him personal questions to get to know him better or it would be too clingy so what do u think I should ask or do to make us closer but also not to seem clingy

You have made your feelings clear to him, and he has shared his feelings with you. He wants to spend more time together so that the two of you will get to know each other more. Take this opportunity to consider how you can strengthen your relationship. Speak with him about your thoughts and feelings, and give him an opportunity to share himself with you as well. This will help the two of you determine what the best course of action for your relationship is.

If you shared your feelings with someone, and that person chose to not respond to you, then you have received your answer from them. It is possible that they are confused or uncertain about their feelings. Regardless, you should focus your emotional energy elsewhere.
