How do I tell someone that I'm interested?

Question

I met a man recently online (not a romantic website, just a chat room). We started talking, and I found out that he lives 5 houses down from me! He told me that I should come over to introduce myself, so I did. Now I have the biggest crush on him, but am afraid to tell him because I don't want him to feel wierd or freaked out by the whole thing. I want to tell him that I'm interested in going to dinner or a show, but am afraid of feeling rejected. I mean, he is my neighbor, and I don't want to feel awkward on my own block. I don't want to go to bed with him, I just want to get to know him. My mom is old-fashioned, and argues that women should NEVER tell men how they feel. I just want some advice about the whole thing. Should I tell him, and risk humiliation? Or should I not tell him and always wonder? Or, how can I tell him in a subtle way?

Thanks!

Answer 1

welcome to a mans world with the fear of rejection. If you don't do anything now, you might pass up a great thing. You never know until you do something about it. Ask him if he wants to do dinner sometime.

Answer 2

you don't "tell" him, "show" him, you know i dont think he would have invitied you to his house unless he thought you might be alright
do you see him regularly? if so, go for it
