Example posts about "confessing":
Should I confess my feelings to my crush?
I confessed my feelings and got rejected, what to do now?
Why confessing is ineffective:
- its overwhelming
- its a bit creepy
- it puts a lot of pressure on the other person
Dating isn't about hiding intense feelings for someone and secretly hoping they feel the same. Dating should be about gradually getting to know someone and determining if you are emotional and physically compatible with one another.
A better approach: Ask the other person on a casual date. You don't have to use the word "date". Keep it under an hour, and pick a venue where you can talk the whole time.
Examples of asking someone on a date:
High school: "Hey I think you're cool, do you want to hang out after school or on the weekend?"
College: "Hey I'd like to get to know you better, do you want to study/get coffee sometime?"
Post-college: "Hey I'd like to get to know you better, do you want to grab a drink/meal/dessert sometime?"
TL;DR: Don't confess your feelings. Ask to hang out one-on-one instead.
