    What kind of like is this, because for any of these types the following is really good advice.

    For specifically 'I like you, I think you're a beautiful person and want to see a movie with you/get dinner with you/pound you until dawn every day of the week' liking someone, My suggestion is as follows:

    1) Be clear, even the most perceptive people can get something wrong.
    2) Make sure that there at the very least none of their friends around, so that they don't feel pressured, ideally nobody else around.
    3) Make sure the situation itself doesn't make them uncomfortable.
    4) Make sure it's somewhere they leave if saying the words 'I like you' causes them to be uncomfortable.
    5) If they say no you have two choices: admit that it's how they feel and you don't have any claim to their liking, or kidnap them and lock them in your dungeon until they come to realise how good you are for them. One of these is the right choice.

    This. I mean, some of us have problems reading body language and subtlety anyway, being direct is just polite. This applies to more than romantic signals, but especially then.

    No I am not just bitter that it took me three months and being told to realise a friend has romantic feelings for me.

    I wonder if writers, due to their imagination, get crossed up with their signals more than the general population?

    "Dude, she's into me."
    "She said 'Hi'."
    "Yeah, but it was how she said it. Did you notice the breathy 'H'?"

    Oh, totally. On the other hand...

    'Dude she's totally into you.'
    'Nah, you're reading too much into things.'
    'She kissed you!'
    'There's probably another explanation, she did drink a lot and maybe she spent the last year in France.'

    Very loosely based on a friend's experience.

    "Hey, let's go grab a coffee sometime."

    It's low pressure, low time commitment, and can leave things open if it goes really well.

    On-topic: Don't make such a big deal out of it, or you're gonna end up like me, spending 5 months mustering up the courage to tell a girl I had been hanging out with for six months that I wanted to be more than just friends with her. By the time I asked her out, she literally yelled "finally!"

    Oft when the summer sleeps among the trees,
    Whispering faint murmurs to the scanty breeze,
    I walk the village round; if at her side
    A youth doth walk in stolen joy and pride,
    I curse my stars in bitter grief and woe,
    That made my love so high and me so low.

    O should she e'er prove false, his limbs I'd tear
    And throw all pity on the burning air;
    I'd curse bright fortune for my mixed lot,
    And then I'd die in peace, and be forgot.

    Oh certainly, this is definitely good advice. I once got a girl embarrassed that she hadn't noticed I'd liked her four months ago (she worked it out the day I admitted it to her).

    Although that has led to an interesting relationship, she held off telling me she'd developed feelings for me (two to three months after I told her I like her) until she left the country because she knew I'd immediately start trying to date her.

    OP, just remember that even if they don't yell finally or kiss you or whatever and only want to be friends, there's nothing wrong with that.
