My friend is emailing the guy she likes and I was hoping you guys could help. PLEASE GIVE US IDEAS FOR ADDITION...we need more!! (his name is sam and her's lisa)
~Hey Sam,
Well I wasn't planning on telling you this but yesterday, I was talking to some of my friends and they encouraged me to tell you that I like you. I know that nothing is probabaly going to happen, but I just needed to tell you!
Love,
Lisa

Leave your friends out of it. It's better to show him that you're interested, instead of "encouraged" into contacting him. Don't say "nothing" is going to happen. It's too negative. Sound more positive and upbeat. Just say something like "you seem like someone I'd like to get to know better. email or call me if your interested!"
Be yourself and try to trust your gut instead of listening to your friends.

Kind of corny. First you tell him that you like him, then in the next breath you say that nothing will happen. What does that mean. Just keep positive. No negativity in this email . and dont tell him that your friend told you to tell him either. Just tell him that you think he has the nicest smile, eyes, whatever. You were wondering if maybe you could for a soda or movie sometime. If he doesnt notice that, then you need to hit him over the head with a shovel.

I wouldn't use any of that, it doesn't seem sincere or confident. I would use something like....
I just wanted to let you know that I have liked you for a while and I know that if I kept it a secret from you then there would definitely be no chance with you. I hope that no matter what we can still be friends but I just needed you to know that I would love to be more than just friends.
Or something to that effect. But show confidence with being cocky or big-headed and sound like you mean it and not because your friends talked you into it.

Yes, the entire email is corny. There are ways to get to know people without sending an email that says I like you.

she should leave out the part about her friends encouraging her. she should just say...
Hey Sam,
I just wanted to let you know that i like you, and i was wondering if sometime you would like to watch a movie or hang out.
have her write something that sounds more interesting and inviting but keep it friendly, not desperate.

Yes it does! I am reminded about the novel Pride and Prejudice where this guy (darcy?) told this woman "against my reason I must tell you that I find you very attractive and beautiful....and so on. Then he is surprised at her rejection, she said,
"Mr. Darcy, you told me that you loved me against all your reason, all your will.........."
Point being is that you want to say " MY FREINDS ENCOURAGED ME"---dont put that part in, it makes it look like if it wasnt for them, you wound never of done it (which is probably true)

Keep it short and sweet. Just tell him that you like him and you wanted to tell him.

don't put "Love," as a closing.
i think it was really weird. like if i were reading it i would expect more.
that was like a "hi i like you ok bye" so make it seem like you actually like him. haha
