There is nothing wrong with hinting at reciprocity to the gentleman you like.
The main thing is to make sure that the heart of the potential chosen one is free before making any hints. An affair with a family man is unlikely to end well.
Another rule says that the number of hints should be limited - you should not confess your sympathy to a man more than three times. If he ignored your hints, you should switch to another candidate.
As for the hints themselves, there are many ways to express your feelings.
There is every chance that your letter with confessions of deep feelings will make an indelible impression on a man. After such a message, you can count on an invitation to a date, and how it goes depends on you.
It's not just guys who can give girls flowers - why not try sending a bouquet with a note to the man you like. In the accompanying card, include the date, time and place of the meeting, and also your phone number so that the man can warn you if his plans suddenly change.
If it so happens that you find yourself together with the object of your adoration at karaoke, a song will help you express your feelings. To make the man understand that it is addressed specifically to him, look at him more often during the performance - after this, he will certainly want to talk to you.
You can always dial the local radio station and ask the DJ to play a song with a hint for the young man. Even if he doesn't hear it himself, his friends who listen to the broadcast will probably pass the information on to him.
