So you have met someone you like and you want to ask that person out on a date? Good for you. Do you know how to approach this person? I hope that you are not one of those people that use the same tired line that has been used for years: “I like you do you like me“. You really need to be more original than that.

Forget doing one-liners though, these usually sound so phony that they get you nowhere. Try instead just being honest and tell the person you would like to go out with them or get to know the person better. Just be straightforward just not brash. Keep it respectful and try not to be so nervous because  you just might blurt it out loudly.

Below are some other tips for approaching someone you like.

1- Pay Attention: Notice what this person likes or dislikes. Make it a point to know which type of coffee they like or what movies. You can engage them in just regular conversations in group settings to find these things out. If you work with this person, notice where they get their carryout for lunch. This will help you know which restaurants they visit. Noticing what this person is wearing and commenting is another good idea.

2- Have Confidence: Walk up to this person in a confident way. If you are afraid to look at them in the face, it will only scare them off. Just make sure not to be cocky about this. You need to show that you have self-confidence. No one likes someone with low self-esteem.

3- Pleasant Personality: Do not be a downer. Have a pleasant personality. Be in an uplifting mood. No one will like to be around you otherwise. While approaching a person you like be joyful but not giddy. Giddy is over the top. Just don’t act this part though; you should really love life.

4- Don’t Rush: Don’t push to have the relationship to be more than the other person is ready to accept. You have to move slowly when wanting to get to know someone you like better. So move slowly but make sure not to stand still either.

5- Be a Good Listener: Learn how to listen closely to a conversation. This will allow you to learn a lot about people by saying nothing. Just listen to what the other person is talking about. If you are approaching a person you like in a crowd when they are talking to someone, just listen quietly until they are through. This person will notice that you have good listening skills.

6- Don’t Be Aggressive: If you come on too strong, you will scare the person you like away. You can’t be too shy either or you won’t get any words out to talk to this person. Hit a happy medium with this and you will do just fine.

7- The Eyes! Make sure to also approach someone eye to eye. Anyone feels uncomfortable talking to someone who does not look them straight in the eye. Eye contact makes the person feel confident you are being truthful in what you say for one thing.

8- Watch the Volume: Don’t let your voice be too loud or too soft. Too loud can make you sound obnoxious or screaming, while too soft the person will have a hard time hearing you. Make sure you speak in a medium volume so your voice is comfortably heard.

9- Respect the Other Person’s Space: Don’t crowd the person you are approaching; this will make most people feel nervous. Allow them a comfortable distance between your two bodies. The idea is to make them feel relaxed.

10- Smile: You can smile at a person you like from across the room to initiate contact. Once they have acknowledged your smile then slowly move across the room. This way they already feel comfortable with you approaching them.

Now that you know some tips for approaching someone you like, you can be more comfortable doing so and forget the simple I like you do you like me question. Humans are social creatures and need someone with whom to share their experiences.

It is normal to hesitate a little at first approaching someone you do not know well. However, once you get past your nerves, you will be able to approach them and get to know them better.
