Actually, there is some better way to just direct confess your feeling about the girl/guy. It is better to give hint to the other and observe the response. Like try the ask whether you have a bf/gf while in the normal conversation. Or whats your desire partner and so on, 1st you can know whether he/she in a relationship, then he/she will notice you are interest in his/her live. Then the relationship can little by little improve till the right time to confess. By then if rejected sure he/she will try to advise or explain to you it not possible to be together. For the safeties way try to be friend 1st, it will really not a good feeling for each part. For sure direct confess will freak out the other party, cos they will feel I'm don't know you or not knowing you enough why I should accept you. And worry why such person act like freak, and any motive on me...

Honestly said, I had experience gals try to approach me by firstly be friend, then try to ask your personal feeling, asking your desire partner, try to get together with you, interest to your hobby. But then gals feeling are sensitive, they will sense even a little words or action of you. Just if you are not interest to them, after some test & hint from them, they will know right after. But I really an idiot which think too much, and so choosy till now I'm still a single which haven't got a gf before. Shame on me.

Then how to do, the girl straight away close the door on yours. If you insist, try to open the door in her heart then only got chance; try to impress her of course, telling her by action can we be friend. Girls need secure, try to protect them, give them confident, when ever she need help, you be there. By simply give gift, sure will impress them but just short period; just do what men need to do.

But anyway guys, please don't give up just 1 tree, there is a forest out there. Plenty of nice & pretty girls out there which desire for love, care & secure, just don't be like me, so mean till loss all the good chances. Grab it when that is the right time.
