What approach is better?

Question

My friend is considering letting someone knowing their feelings towards a girl he likes. However, he has no clue how to do it, and has turned to me for advice. Guess what. I have no clue what to tell him, lol. However, I was thinking of telling him these ways. Which one is better? Why? Is there a better way? I know no way is perfect, but what way do you think is best for him?

A. "I was wondering, do you want to go *Wherever* with me this *whenever*?"
or
B. "I must tell you the truth - My feelings for you... have sort of grown for you, and I thought it was time you should know."

Well, I was gonna tell him go with B, but I know A. is more traditional. Of course, he would expand. What do you think? Oh, and he told me he asked her once like A already, and she said she was busy that day... that's why I was gonna suggest him B, as he won't be too sure of her feelings if she says yes or no with A With B, he'll know what her real feelings are without being confused. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I would go with option B myself. This is because A does not tell either persons true feelings and they might not get anywhere. They could think they are just hanging out as friends. Also, since he has done it once he might not wanna do it again. I like option B it gets things in the open and he gets to know right now whether she likes him back or not. If she doesn't like him make sure you make him add if you don't like me we could still just be friends. Hahahaha sorry i wrote a lot i have done this before but i had my friend do it for me because I was too shy. Hahahaha. It didn't work out well for me but we stayed friends which is awesome so make sure he adds the friend thing or things will just be awkward between them.

Answer 2

I would suggest to go with plan A. You don't want to make things too complicated by explaining your feelings too quickly. It can scare her away. Especially if she refused to go out with him the first time he asked. Maybe she's not even interested, so there's no point in opening up so soon. Advise your friend to ask the girl out the second time, if she refuses again, let him make a third attempt. If this doesn't work, then he can still try to be friends with her. Girls usually know if the guy likes them or not. So you don't need to explain. Just be patient.
