Some people are so shy that they don't know how to say that they like a person. This is a common problem with guys because they are the one who's supposed to make the first move. In other cultures, it's not good if the girl initiates the conversation or courtship between a man and woman. So how do you tell someone that you like her? Before actually telling her, give her some hints so she won't be surprised. Here are some ways to give her an idea how you feel.

Be with her. Spend as much time with her because by keeping her company, you'll know more about her personality. You'll get an idea on what she likes and what she hates. But make sure that you befriend her fist because it would look like as if you're stalking her if she doesn't know you.

Talk to her. It's the easiest way to get information about her. Ask her questions about herself, her family, her friends and the things she like. But don't ask too much because you'll sound like you're investigating her. Don't dig in too deep. Remember you're still on the getting-to-know-you stage. She may refuse to answer some questions but don't push her. It will take time before she shares that with you.

Call her often. But don't bug her all the time. Just ask if she's OK or if she's bored. You can ask her out if she's not doing anything.

Give her small gifts. You can give her a flower or a box of chocolates. Simple gifts make women happy. Even though they're not so great, it makes girls feel special. And women appreciate practical gifts more. Give something that she can use.

Befriend her friends. Make sure that you're in good terms with her peers because they are the second most important people in her life, next to family. You should know how to get along with them.

Listen to her. Girls like men who listen. It's a common mistake among men when they think too highly of themselves and they disregard the woman's feelings. Don't be like those self-centered men. Pay attention when she's talking.

Support her. Whatever she does, always be there for her. Always lend your help when she needs it. A woman always needs someone to turn to, someone to rely on. If you could be that man to her, then she'll most likely begin to depend on you. Then you will gain her trust and respect.

So without saying any word, the woman would one day realize what she means to you. She will know your feelings based on what you do. Action speaks louder than words. It's more important to show what you feel, rather than just talk about it.
