You've seen her, you spoke to her, and you liked her. Now, what do you do about it?

Once you have encountered a female counterpart that you think would be a potential love match, there are two common reactions. First is to go for it. Boldly tell her that you find her interesting and check if the interest is reciprocated. The second reaction is fear of turning her away. Since you are not sure whether she returns the feeling, you hide it instead.

There is actually no need to do so. As they say, although the version needs to be altered a little, "it is better to have tried to tell her and lost than never to have tried at all." Sounds cheesy but true. What if she was just waiting for you? Best not to regret later, so here are the simple ways to let her know you are interested.

First is to maintain eye contact. Time and again, this is an effective non-verbal way of engaging another person. If she returns that gaze, make sure not out of blatant irritation, then hold it moments longer.

Next is to put all your attention to her. Value her opinions especially if she is sharing something that pertains to interest. This will be effective and can be good for future use. Just don't overdo it by asking her if she's alright every time she sneezes or makes hand gestures.

Third is to engage in a conversation. Listening is not enough. You would also need to express your opinion especially when she asks for it. Asking relevant questions are much appreciated.

Last is to tell her. Either subtly or directly, express it especially when she has shown interest with your past few actions. After doing your part, the next step is for her to take whether to keep things as is or to make decisions for the start of a relationship.
