First you can calm down in order to make sure you don't fumble. Then you gather up all your courage and be honest with your feelings. You go up to him and calmly tell him how you feel about him. It may seem hard to do so since it takes a lot of courage so make sure you know what you're feeling and how to describe it. If it seems like you're unsure of how to describe the feeling it may come off as insecure. So before telling him how you feel, figure it out in your own head or ask a friend for help.

Sometimes it helps me to write my thoughts out ahead to really get to the core of what I'm trying to say. That often leads to a more productive conversation in my experience. Sometimes difficult conversations can quickly be derailed or venture off-topic so feeling confident in your talking-points may lead to a more fruitful conversation. While actually having the conversation, be firm in your points and confident in what you have to say. Try to focus on what his actions make you feel rather than something he's doing wrong. It sounds corny but my therapist once told me to keep difficult conversations to the "I" form rather "You". If you go into the conversation and light him up with a bunch of "You don't do this" or "I hate when you do this" it can make him feel attacked and become defensive, which breaks down communication. Instead, try expressing yourself like "When this happens, I feel..." I hope it goes well :)

I have always found that honesty is the best approach. Honesty is a really important foundation in any relationship romantic especially so being open about how you feel with him is a good step. It may seem scary at the time because you're worried about what he'll think. But if he is the right man then he'll understand and actually probably really appreciate you being this open with him. But also tell you that maybe you feel anxious about it because then he knows. But what's most likely to happen is that you two will just become closer xx

You may share your emotions and feelings through a compassionate communication - which is the most active way you can let someone know how are you feeling. Making sure he is feeling validated and loved in your relationship. You can also express your feelings through your actions - by going somewhere you both enjoy spending time in. But if those feelings are not based on love and respect you should communicate them through also, however maybe hard it may seem and feel. All of us deserve to know how others that are close to us feel about us and our company.

be honest and true to yourself. Don't be afraid to tell him how you really feel and follow your heart. If its negative, make sure you are in a safe environment where you can have others help you. If its positive, follow your heart and make sure to really express what you mean. Holding your feelings inside can really make it hard to function in life. Take this seriously as mental health is so important to people. I hope this helps you tell your boyfriend how you really feel and that you stay safe and happy in ur upcoming endeavors.

Everyone has a different love language. If you search online, you might see the following: Words of Affirmation, Gift-Receiving, Quality Time, Physical Touch, Acts of Service. Love doesn't necessarily have to be spoken through words! If your boyfriend's love language is Words of Affirmation, any compliments or acknowledgements will mean a lot to him. For example, you could even write a letter or poem that will appeal to that love language. From my experience, my boyfriend's love language is Acts of Service. I show him how I feel about him by helping him out with any tasks or chores! If you want to learn more about love languages, be sure to check it out online! Hope this helped :)

Telling anyone your true feelings can be an extremely stressful and worrisome situation, whatever your relationship may be. Telling your boyfriend how you truly feel about him could open new doors of communication for you two. Relationships really thrive in communication and the willingness of both parties to be open with each other. So the cons to telling your boyfriend how you feel about him is really fear of rejection, stress of confrontation, or maybe the anxiety of opening yourself up. But the pros of telling your boyfriend how you feel about him are that your relationship could be taken to a new level in emotionally intimacy, he could return your feelings and this new communication could ensure a lasting happy relationship.

Be honest and open with how you feel. This person is already someone who is committed to you and your wellbeing, the best course of action - is to be calm and collected; but also honest. The easiest way I've found talking to my partner is just to start the dialogue, how was your day at work? How was our dinner last night? A clear head and open dialogue into a meaningful conversation while staying grounded on the topic at hand I believe would be the best way to converse with your partner about how you feel about them. Hopefully, this helps, thanks for your time.

Try to start with a slow conversation and gradually tell him how you feel . Don't try to subside your feelings worrying what the results may be . Just be yourself. But also take care that you don't say something in hurtful way whatever it is convey it politely and clearly . If it is something hurtful ,if in case ...then ask him to talk to you about it when he feels comfortable and don't worry about the consequences just be kind and supportive while you convey your feelings to him. And sure if you need anymore guidance we memebers of 7 cups are here to hear you out!
