Is it better to be direct or use signals to let a guy know you like him?

Question

I think that my crush may like me back, but I hate inaction. He could be trying to get to know me before he says anything, so maybe I'm worrying for nothing, but I don't want to let a chance pass me by.

He has said that he is not shy, but has admitted he lacks confidence. He is also the quiet and observant type, so if all else fails, I have no problems telling him directly how I feel (though I think using signals would be ideal).

I would much prefer to use signals, so how blatant would I need to be? I'm interested in more than a fling, so I don't want to be overtly sexual or anything... We already incorporate innocent flirting in our body language (no kissing or hugging), so I have no problem with that.

Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

You say he is not shy but does lack confidence. You can do it either way. If you want there to be no doubt , then be direct, if you use signals unless they are prety much on the direct side he may miss read them. Just say that you are not easy but you can be made, by the right person. He will either make his move or back off all togather. I doubt the latter. You just need to encourage him some. Good Luck.

I think it's better to be subtly direct so that you can say what you're feeling, but in a "fluffy" kind of way.
Can I ask a question (just respond in Additional Details): Where did you meet this guy? I have been trying to look for guys who are quiet and observant for the longest time..

Okay I am a girl so I can not believe I am saying this but Guys are not mind readers ... How are they going to know you girls are interested just by " signals " No you need to straight out let them know ! People spend to much time on does he like me does he not .. Well the only way your ever going to know is to be up front and just ask ..

The best way to be ( with any man ) is to be direct. He too may be suffering from lack of confidence & may be scared of rejection.
Try writing him a short note, nothing heavy, ... this time of year, a Xmas card ( a bit late I know ) would be a great opener....... a brief message " Be Mine ??? " might be an opener............good luck

be direct.

tell him straight up.

if you use "signals" then chances are, he's not going to READ them the way you want him to.

then he'll meet someone else and he'll forget about you.

time is running out.
