text: how do i approach the man i really like and tell him that i like him?   being a man, i would say just go up to him and tell him how you feel. there is nothing i hate more than a guessing game. just put it all out there, and you will get a response, even if it isn't one you want. holding that in just makes things worse later on for you, and him. i like it when a girl comes to me to tell me she wants me. even if im not interested in that girl, i admire that.
