I suggest you try to be a friend with him first, cultivate feelings. Then it won't be abrupt when you show your love to him. On the other hand, during your friendship, you can determine if it is just an impulse, if he is Mr. right and worth devoting your rest of your life to him.

if you're prepared to tell him how you feel, be prepared for WHATEVER happens next. sometimes the answer can both shock you or delight. life is short, if you don't want to waste anymore time wondering if he likes you back, then make the first move. or give him hints to how you feel. if he reacts negatively, then i suggest you move on to someone else.

Let it be secret until he loves other girl or marry someone other than u. Later they will enjoy their life and your shy switch to Sad. Then it will not be a secret. That facts.

I agree with durk.

if you were shy, you can do all things that represent your love without telling him that you love him . he will understand you .
