Ready to tell your crush how you feel? We've got templates, tips, and advice to help you confess without it being awkward. You've got this.
Create Your LetterBefore You Write That Letter
Timing and context matter. Look for these signs that your crush might be interested.
They make eye contact and hold it
Good sign of interest
They text you first regularly
They're thinking about you
They remember small details about you
They pay attention to you
They make excuses to be around you
They want to spend time with you
Important Note
Even without clear signals, it's okay to express your feelings respectfully. The worst that can happen is they don't feel the same – and that's okay. You deserve to know where you stand.

The Casual Confession
Light & FriendlyHey [Name], So... I've been wanting to tell you something. I really enjoy spending time with you. Like, more than normal friend level. You make me laugh, you're actually interesting to talk to, and honestly? I think you're pretty great. I'm not trying to make things weird – I just thought you should know how I feel. No pressure on your end. But if you ever wanted to grab coffee sometime, just the two of us... I'd be really happy. [Your name]
The Heartfelt Letter
Genuine & SweetDear [Name], I've been holding onto this for a while now, and I think you deserve to know. Every time I see you, I find myself smiling before I even realize it. Our conversations are the highlight of my day. There's something about the way you [specific trait] that I can't stop thinking about. I'm not expecting anything – I just wanted you to know that someone out there thinks you're pretty amazing. With hope, [Your name]
The Bold Approach
Confident & Direct[Name], Life's too short to not say what you feel, so here it goes: I like you. Not in a casual, everyday kind of way. In a "you're the first person I want to text in the morning" kind of way. In a "I'd actually be nervous to go on a date with you" kind of way. Would you want to go out sometime? Whatever happens, I'm glad I finally told you. [Your name]
