Wait until a time where you're alone and have some time together. Start off with some casual conversation before telling them directly. If they respond positively, try asking them out on a date.

It's better to put yourself out there and be rejected than to miss out on a chance because you were too afraid to try!

Just be honest and straightforward - try something like, "I really enjoyed hanging out with you, and I like you a lot. I'd like to get to know you better. Would you like to go out with me?"

Go ahead and tell him! Try to be as clear as possible, so there isn't any confusion in what you're trying to say. If he doesn't feel the same way, at least you'll know for sure.

That answer is different for everyone, but you should wait long enough to really get a good feeling for the person's character. Think about whether they'd be a good match for you in the long run - do you like the same things? Do they treat people in a way that you think is admirable?

Even if you're a kid, you can still tell someone you like them. Just keep in mind you might have to follow your parents' AND their parents' rules for dating.

Unfortunately, that does happen sometimes. Try to keep yourself busy, spend time with supportive family and friends, and focus your energy on something else for a while. Then, turn your attention to someone who likes you for you!

Spend some time getting to know her. As you get closer, you should be able to learn more about her, including whether she's interested in other females.

Tell him you like him. Then, if he likes you too, maybe you can exchange phone numbers or social media info and keep in touch until you can see each other again.
