How I did it: I wrote a letter which I think is a good way to tell someone how you feel about them because sometimes if you try to do it in person the words don't always come out right, plus you give the one you like a chance to think things over rather than being put on the spot.
My friend wrote a letter back and although the feeling wasn't mutual, they still wanted to be friends and everything in the letter was so lovely and sweet, you really couldn't ask for a better experience when telling someone you like them, my friend is a beautiful person who is so respectful, considerate and just all around great human being in every way; I feel priviledged to know them; thankyou for being such a wonderful friend and showing that moments like these don't have to be awkward and strange. If only everyone would react like you did... :)

(By the way I'm not certain it did take me '2 months' but this website asked to put a timing of how long it took so I put 2 months...)

Lessons & tips: If you really like a person they are worth taking a chance for. Put your heart out there regardless of what your fears might say to you (depending on each individual circumstance of course). Everyone gets anxious when they think of telling someone they like them and yes in some cases things can turn out badly but if you can trust the one you love and they are a loyal friend they won't turn their back on you. If they do then there are likely problems that stem from within themselves not necessarily 100% to do with what you told them.
Say everything from the heart, don't search for lines because those are someone else's words speaking for you and it is sleazy, you like this person, you're not trying to 'pick them up' (and if you are only after that then you probably shouldn't be reading this advice cause I'm not talking about that). Reach into your soul and let the words flow about how you feel for the one you like, they are there and sometimes it might be difficult to say them but you can do it.
Make sure you tell someone in private, not with a group of friends around or anyone else, there are certain instances where a conversation like this isn't appropriate for the moment you're in, so time everything well.
Be calm and accepting if they don't feel the same way, try not to let yourself get too emotional over this; it is not the end of the world and besides, isn't it good that the one you're into knows how special they are, and isn't it such a relief to get the feelings off your chest?
