    Is it normal to just tell someone you like them?
    I did, and after my crush said I had a lot if courage for doing it. I think it was pretty cowardly and desperate if you ask me.

    I just figured everyone did, I guess not. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    i would say so although most of the time , i act like an obvious idiot and have them figure it out.

    my laziness has a good advantage to it , it seems

    I did with two girls I liked in time, and they said they had one on me too, so it was like, "D'AWWW". Even though it went nowhere, and just continued flirting and being friends. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    How would it be cowardly? Simplistic, yes, but you are baring your heart for the one person whose opinion you actually care about, and it's directed straight at them. I would think it's really sweet if somebody straight up told me they liked me and dealt with the reaction.

    Normally it's a bit more subtle than that. People asking others to spend time together until the target catches on that it isn't a "just as friends" sort of thing. It's slightly easier being a guy IMO, as you can ask somebody out and make all the moves, rather than expect the other to take charge.

    Good luck in romance. :slight_smile:

    "Cowardly"? Far from! If you ask me, it's incredibly brave. You know how many people miss out on opportunities because they never had the guts to speak up? I mean, of course it can turn out badly and the person you like could reject you or get scared away, but at least you'll know and not keep wondering what if.

    I had a guy tell me he liked me, and of course it didn't pan out, but I admired his courage to say something about it.

    ... I think its completely stupid that people don't have the guts to tell someone you like them.
    So good on ya, your one of the few normal people I know.
    Seriously like a couple days after I met a guy online I told him I like him and like a week later he asked me out, we've been dating for over a year now, people make telling someone you like to out to be such a bad thing. Seriously if you don't tell them how will the person ever know to ask you out?

    Farthest thing from cowardly. I'm usually a brash person but confessing something like that to a crush would be terrifying. If someone were to do it to me, I'd be extremely flattered. Their bravery wouldn't go without credit, either. And I don't think it's abnormal, at all. Straight-forward and to the point, right then and there.

    Actually, I did do it once to a girl I adored in year 8, but she didn't seem to find me attractive so I was crushed.

    I don't think it's normal, but that's not a bad thing! You're really brave!

    It's normal.

    The one guy I've had a crush on I told, though that was just to get over it. Lol. Worked quite well. Told him, then a few days later, years of crushing just kind've... went away. xD And he was quite cool about it as well.
