That won't come across as creepy at all.

Clue: People want to be respected for who they are. If you don't know someone, if you've not spent time talking to them and getting to know them, you don't know them and consequently any declaration of 'love', attraction, etc is a manifestation of your delusional fantasies about what they're like rather than a real respect for who they actually are. People don't want to be someone else's fantasy. They want to be someone's reality.

If there's someone out there who you like the look of, tell them that you want to get to know them better. That's "the secret". There's literally nothing more to it. If they like the look of you they'll say yes, otherwise move on.

Why am I handing out dating advice on HN? This is weird.
