Bare your heart in a subtle manner o.o

If he's a romantic, he'll understand and respond.

I don't know the circumstances so I can't really help more then that.

thankies

Oh Aya, that's so Cute. I'd be happy to give you some advice.
Trust me, guys don't present much of a challenge, so it's pretty easy to get things started.
That being said, make sure that the guy isn't a total creep first. Some times even if a person
looks, and acts really nice, they're just hiding something dark. don't be too cautious though.


If you really want to attract this guy without being too forward, there are a few things
that you really need to do. First and most important, this person has to notice you.
If he normally takes the stairs, so should you. Next, if you want him to ask you out
you need to suck up every little scrap of Potential interest that this guy throws at you.
If you catch him looking at you, and he should be if he's interested in you, then you
should make sure to look back at him, and smile too. Don't giggle or chuckle though.
This is confusing. Smiles are happy. If you laugh, then he's not going to know if its
with him or against him. This is very important, because, (pardon the joke.)
The only thing that scares a guy more than commitment, is rejection.
Provided he's not the type of guy that just wants to get in your pants.

Next, Make sure that this guy has at least one chance to help you.
Don't let him confuse this opportunity with a chance to ask you out. After you're sure he's
actually in to you, this should be that special golden opportunity he has, to prove that he
wants to talk to you, learn more about you. Being non forward after this point is not important.
Start talking to him on a regular basis after this happens, you should not be a stranger anymore.
Interact with him carefully though, because making him think that asking you out would ruin your
growing friendship is really bad. If you notice that you've done this by accident, kiss being asked out
goodbye. And in the event that this does happen you'll need to suck it up and ask him out instead.

Some other things that are pretty important are: To notice and appreciate his interests,
and to respect him for them. Also if he's young, don't beat him up too much if he's not quite
sure where he is in life. A lot of young boys are like this. Just make sure he's responsible.

Finally be happy.
I Hope that this all helps.

Thank you both!

Speaking from a guy's perspective. Subtle don't work. Guys are pretty simple creatures, and without strong training towards the goal, using subtle hints on a guy is about as effective as trying to teach Japanese to a Cocker Spaniel. It's not our natural state of being, we have to be taught what subtlety is. If you seriously are into this guy, let him know. He'll appreciate your honesty. Some guys are shy, like myself, and are more scared of initiating and being rejected than you realize. If you're close friends, he might be worried that you'll reject him not only romantically, but as his friend if he asks you out. This is the modern age, don't leave it all up to the man to be the pursuer, take the initiative yourselves, instead of waiting for Mr Right. This goes for quite a few women out there.

Of course, this is just my opinion, mileage may vary as always.

Wow well at least you're honest about yourself.

Well, the way I look at things is, if you can't be honest, you can't be helpful. Honesty is always the better option. If you're doing something you'd be ashamed of...don't do it. If you get caught doing something you know you shouldn't have, you always get farther with the truth than a lie, etc... But it's true, most guys don't pick up on subtle hints. Some of us don't pick up on obvious hints. I happen to be in the extreme version of the latter, lol. For me to realize a girl is interested, she damn near has to be naked in my bed before I'll pick up the oh-so-subtle hints.

Damn well I don't plan on being naked in his bed for him to realize this

lol I'd imagine not, I doubt anyone else could possibly be as unbelievably dense as i am when it comes to things like this.
