3. “You’re not really my type, but you are cool.”
“I’d be like, ‘She said I was cool!’ I’d be really happy.” Many guys are more than happy to receive a compliment. However, make sure your “You’re not my type” isn’t misunderstood by him as “I wouldn’t want you as a boyfriend” by adding on something like, “I mean, I’d be worried that you’d be popular with a lot of girls.” This will help communicate your feelings toward him even more.
