• What are the best direct and indirect ways for a man or woman to confess to someone that they like them?
My advice is always to be direct – it could be anything from “Hey, I like you!” to “Can I take you on a date?” Usually when someone is asked out on a date, they will know this means that the other person likes them. Indirect ways can easily create a lot of confusion around the expectations of the type of relationship you want to have with them (such as, they could think you are just friends when in reality you do not view them as just a friend), so clearing up any misunderstandings early on is the way to go.
