This means actually making your intent known, instead of "trying to be friends" first and then sneakily asking a girl out (btw she can smell this from a mile away, it's better to be bold than sneaky).

And for the love of god. Ditch the anime tropes. Don’t “confess your feelings” before you’re even dating. It’s charming when your in elementary, middle, and maybe even high school. But if you’re in college or a tax paying employee, drop that shit. The only time I can see where this is appropriate is when you’ve been together for a long time and just want to be romantic and reaffirm your love or want to make things official, or you’ve been friends with someone for a very long time and you both know you want each other romantically (this is a whole can of worms, but whatever).
