How should one proceed when encountering a male with mutual feelings but unsure if he is single?

Hello, questioner.

This kind of questioning is more appropriate from a psychological point of view.

First, you use curiosity about something (like washing powder) to get him talking. This is a subtle way of starting a conversation that won't offend him.

Asking about the brand of washing powder shows you care about the details of his life. It makes him feel you pay attention to him in a deeper way. It also creates opportunities for further communication.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind. For example, when asking questions, be natural and sincere.

Keep your eyes friendly and relaxed, and don't look nervous.

If the other person answers, respond based on their answer. For example, share your views on washing powder or talk about fresh scents. If they seem uninterested or reluctant, change the subject. Don't force it.

Finally, you can connect with him and avoid being too direct or impulsive. Pay attention to how he responds and adjust your words and actions to ensure comfortable communication.

I hope this helps.

This sounds sweet. The two of you interact subtly and thoughtfully, making people smile.

He compliments you on your hair and smiles. This shows he likes you. His affection is pure and warm.

You like him too. You can tell from his voice, smell, and how tidy he is.

The ring you mentioned makes you a little worried, but don't jump to conclusions. Rings don't always mean being married or having a steady partner. They can also be worn for other reasons.

It's creative to express your love of his smell, but saying "I like the way you smell" can feel awkward. Asking what brand of laundry detergent he uses is a better idea.

It shows you care about him. It seems natural and unforced, so there's no problem with it.

This is a good topic to start a conversation. You might get to know each other better.

Attraction often begins with small details. If you two have common interests or feelings, look for more ways to get in touch.

Love sometimes starts with a simple curiosity. Who knows if this might be the beginning of your story?

Respect and boundaries are important in any relationship. It would be good to know why he has the ring and to learn more about him.

Enjoy the process, keep an open mind, and good things may happen!

Good day. I am Wanshi Ruyi. I observe that your query pertains to the acceptability of expressing one's emotions.

The questioner was attracted to a boy because he repeatedly told her that she looked prettier with her hair down. She observed that his voice and smell elicited a positive emotional response, and she desired to develop a closer relationship with him while maintaining the boundaries of a proper relationship. She was uncertain about how to express herself without crossing the line and experienced a certain degree of distress.

It is essential for the questioner to ascertain the nature of the relationship they aspire to cultivate with the boy. Is it a general friendship, where they offer each other compliments and appreciation, maintaining a certain distance and refraining from delving too deeply into each other's lives? Or do they desire a more intimate connection, where they can gain a deeper understanding of the other's experiences and become closer? To what extent do they wish to pursue this closeness?

Upon observing the ring on the questioner's middle finger, it became evident that a series of thoughts were generated, prompting a sense of restraint in the questioner's actions. This restraint was observed to be directed towards maintaining the current friendship and preventing the relationship from progressing to a romantic level. The questioner expressed a desire to convey positive sentiments towards the individual in question, with the intention of fostering a sense of goodwill and positive feelings. However, this expression was accompanied by a sense of apprehension, stemming from the concern that it might lead to a perception of the relationship exceeding the boundaries of friendship. This apprehension was observed to be a source of discomfort for the questioner.

It is evident that the questioner's anxiety is derived from the perception that one is incapable of effectively navigating relationships and is concerned that their expression may have a detrimental impact on interpersonal dynamics.

In regard to the specific communication method, it is indeed possible for the questioner to simply express praise to the other person in the same manner as the other person expresses it, which is also the simplest approach. For instance, when the other person says, "You look prettier with your hair down," the questioner can say, "Your voice is also very nice to hear," or "Your clothes smell very fresh and comfortable." Alternatively, praise can be expressed in other ways, such as, "You look handsome with short/long hair," and so forth.

The questioner's approach is also acceptable. Following an expression of appreciation, if the intention is to purchase the product, it is possible to inquire about the brand's availability or engage in further conversation to foster a closer connection.

Even if the questioner feels that they have expressed themselves inappropriately and it may cause misunderstanding, they can subsequently communicate and explain their meaning. In verbal communication, mistakes, errors, and inaccuracies are inevitable. Words cannot convey meaning, exaggeration, and other situations can be corrected. It is advisable to express more, learn more about how others express themselves, and if you make a mistake, it is a mistake. If it does not fit, it is recommended that you try another way of expressing it next time. It is important not to be afraid and not to be too hard on yourself if you make a mistake. Before expressing yourself, it is advisable to feel with all your heart what you really want to express, and you will slowly find the right words for you.

It is my hope that this response will prove beneficial to you. I wish you the best of luck.

Hello, question asker, I'm Gu Daoxi, aka Fengshou Skinny Donkey, your Heart Detective coach.

As the saying goes, "When a man courts a woman, there's a mountain in the way; when a woman courts a man, there's only a veil in the way." The questioner may not have to worry too much. Sometimes just being clear can help you feel less pining.

If the other person keeps saying how they feel about you, you can play along and say, "If you keep saying that, I might think you like me and want to chase me!" If they're interested, they'll probably take the bait and tell you how they feel.

I saw Love, Simon and felt sorry for the male and female protagonists for missing each other. They really like each other, but they always misunderstand each other from their own perspectives, which results in a missed opportunity. They don't explain things until they meet again after growing up and get back together.

But in real life, it's unlikely anyone will follow He Yichen's attitude in "Why Why Love." If the right person comes along, everyone else will be fine, but I don't want to be just fine. I'll always wait in the same place.

If you don't confess, you'll just be consumed by internal conflict and miss out on the opportunity. There's a 50% chance you'll get an answer (the person may agree or refuse). Ask yourself if you're truly committed to this relationship and if it's worth the effort. Even if the other person refuses, you've tried, and there's nothing to regret.

The question the OP wants to ask may not be particularly rude. If the OP is really curious, he or she may as well try asking, for example, if the washing powder he or she bought is not effective and tends to cause color fading, and ask if the other person has any recommendations, etc. Perhaps the OP can get the answer he or she wants.

[I think] is probably a pretty subjective word. The questioner might want to look for proof and use facts to get to the bottom of their confusion, which might help them feel more certain.

To avoid the halo effect, you might want to try standing a little further away and looking at the other person objectively. This could help you see the situation more comprehensively and prevent you from focusing too much on the other person's strengths and losing sight of objectivity.

Just be yourself. As long as you're not embarrassed, it's the other person who will be embarrassed. When we don't take the outcome of an opinion so seriously, we may feel more relaxed and be more willing to speak up.

I'd like to suggest that we all read "The Power of Indifference."

Best,

Hello!

From your question, it seems like this kind of inquiry is totally appropriate! You used the inquiry about the brand of washing powder as a way to get the conversation started, which was a great idea. It showed your attention and appreciation for the pleasant aura he exudes, and it also didn't seem too forward or intrusive. This approach is more tactful and subtle, which can not only satisfy your desire to communicate with him and get closer to each other, but also not make him feel abrupt or too much pressure.

From his perspective, if he feels the same way about you, your question is probably going to make him really happy. It shows you're paying attention to the details and are willing to take the initiative to start a conversation with him. He might even respond enthusiastically to your question, which would create more opportunities for communication between you.

But there might be a few things going on. Maybe he was a little caught off guard or shy about your question and didn't know how to respond right away. That doesn't mean he doesn't like you, though. It might just be that he didn't expect you to interact with him like this. And the way you ask the question is also really important. If you can be relaxed, natural, and sincere, it'll have a better effect. You could say it with a smile and in a gentle tone, so he can feel your friendliness and sincerity.

In subsequent exchanges, you just need to adjust your performance based on his response. If he shares with you the brand of laundry detergent and further develops topics such as laundry and living habits, then this is undoubtedly a good start! But if his response is lukewarm or brief, don't be too disappointed. It's possible that he's just a bit reserved for the time being.

Thanks for asking that great question! It's a wonderful way to start a conversation and break the ice. Even if it doesn't lead to anything, you've taken a big step by asking. And who knows? It might lead to something great!

Wishing you all the best!
