A fellow RA had a program about relationships where men and women debated and gave their input on different topics. There was one topic about how you know if someone likes you or not. I answered somewhere along the lines of:

‘Just tell them. If you like someone and you have reason to believe they might be interested in you as well, tell them. Communicate and put everything out in the open so you aren’t wasting time.’

Another person disagreed saying not to do that. He said that you just come off as a freak. My question is:

What do you think? If someone flat out tells you their feelings towards you, do you get freaked out, or do you think it’s a good way to clear things up and prevent any future damage?
