Meaning don't overthink actions or words or try to plan to show her how you feel. Just do what you're inclined to do, say what you're inclined to say. I think all these mind games are ludicrous.

I think this thread will be the turning point of my dating life.

I'm really starting to understand now

Hmm, well I suppose I could give the whole story. I don't remember exactly when I started developing feelings for her, but it was months ago. I changed shifts at work, and at first I wasn't really that interested. She'd speak to me every morning and I'd speak back, but that was it. She'd sometimes ask how everything went on my shift, but I'd only say one thing. I guess over the months, I started developing feelings for her. I started talking more and more where I eventually started liking her more and more. We haven't really been dating dating or anything, but people have sometimes wondered if we have just because of how we both behave around each other.

Oh ok. I think I am getting what you guys mean. I mean, I really do like her and want her to know eventually.

So, then sounds like you're doing fine. Don't ruin it by trying to stake a claim. Sounds to me like you're afraid that if you don't tell her or show her or both, you will lose her. You won't, at least not how you think. No telling, showing or anything will guarantee you she won't split on you. Relax and enjoy the ride. We have feelings for girls, they have feelings for us, and when they both come together we have relationships that last. Often we are in love by ourselves, we've all been there. It hurts when you're on the wrong end of that equation, but still bigger and stronger for the experience. Have fun.
Don't try to "own" anybody. It just doesn't work.

Thanks. I think this is what I have been slacking on trying to "plan" what I am going to do rather than just do it.

There is no one-size-fits-all rule. Women tend to be way too smart and quick and figure out men like them way before men even consider asking them out or telling them. However, there are times men send mixed signals, and even the smarter and quicker women may wish for clarification.

I'm serious, I feel so confident because in 2010 I know what's going to happen.

No offense but there are so many weirdos here. Have you asked her out? If not, WHY NOT? How can you develop feelings for someone if you don't even know if she would say YES or NO to a date. It looks you got your priorities all mixed up. ASK HER OUT, if she says NO, move on!
