So, for a lot of us it's pretty common knowledge that you should never tell her you like her directly, or that you're interested in/attracted to her. Instead, you should be showing her through your actions. Okay, fair enough.
But, what about all the guys that say to come up with something witty when they get the LJBF line or she, in some way (for whatever reason), insinuates you two are friends (when you're after something more), like, "I have enough friends", "I don't need any more friends", or even worse, "I can't just be friends with you"?
It seems to me like the same thing, just said in a different way. Both say, "I like you". One just says it directly, while the other says it without actually having to use those words. Why is one better than the other? Sure, you could say you're being mysterious, vague, etc when you don't directly say it, but it could just as easily be argued that it makes you seem butthurt that things didn't turn out the way you wanted. When it becomes necessary to compliment your actions through your words, what do you do? What do you say? Do you prefer to be bold and just say it, or do you dance around the issue?
