Scared about ruining something

Melissa

Okay I have a rlly big crush on my friends older brother who’s my age and I wanna tell him that I like him, but I don’t wanna ruin me and my friends friendship and I don’t wanna ruin me and his friendship.

My friend,his little sister told me he said I wasn’t bad looking and I’m so confused on what that even means like wtf does it mean??

I rlly wanna tell him I like him but idk how to do it in a way where it’s not so straightforward and out there and I need to figure out a way. I’m scared of the rejection and being weird around him when I’m at his house hanging out with his sister when I see him and shit😓😓

How do you tell someone you Like them without being so straight forward about it??
