The moment when you start having feelings for your best friend.... IN THE BRO ZONE!
There's nothing you could possibly do, you're clearly in the bro zone. He even tells you that you're his ONLY girlfriend that he can talk about anything without feeling judged. And that he loves you (in the bro way) VERY MUCH. The dude doesn't even mentions bro zone, because I have friends that have clearly called me "bro" so yeah. That sort of gives me a tiny little hope.
My love life is messy, I learned to stop caring when I get rejected. I got out of a horrible relationship because it reminded me so much about my mom and her horrible relationship with my bio dad( drug addict, older guy kinda shit). Lucky enough he cheated on me.I really loved that guy and I still miss him as stupid as it sounds, I miss his company, but that's another story for another time. I became a rock after this, not having trouble expressing my feelings for other guys.
ANYWAY...
If I even get the courage of telling my bf that I like him, and that my feelings for him are changing, chances are he won't speak to me again. With the others, they were not my friends, so I didn't had anything to lose, but here. This guy is my best friend,Even though we have talked about it, like not about us being a couple but things like:
"What would you do if someone close to you tells you she likes you" and things like that I was even stupid enough by setting him as an example like "I know you would reject me if I ever tell you I have feelings for you, because you know me, you know all the shit I've done and you know I'm no angel" His answer was very relieving, apparently he would say yes, but I don't know if he was saying that just for being nice or for the heck of it.
He's been acting a little bit weird this days, we don't see each other much, because we're in college now but we talk almost everyday. On Sunday I got online on fb and as soon as I did, "lets go out" we never EVER go out alone, he never asks me to go out alone with him, even though we hang out we don't go ALONE.
I knew that I had told my little siblings that I would take them to the movies, but I just asked him were he wanted to go out and he was like "movies" honestly I thought he was joking. I told him that I would get in touch with him when I came back, we talked, but we didn't talked about going out. So maybe I just confused the things.
He usually tells me that he's really desperate in finding a girlfriend, that he wants a girlfriend just like me, one that he could talk to. That he meets girls and that they are pretty but when he talks to them they just ruin them. And let's be realistic, I'm not that pretty, I know I'm not ugly or repulsive or anything. But I know I'm not the pretty kind he likes, nor I have a great body.
So, should i tell him? Should I wait? .-. I don't know why I'm scared really, I've been in this position before and just went with the flow, but this...
Oh and my mom married in the bro zone, also that gives me up.

He obviously likes you I'm pretty sure.. and he probably took guts to get up to ask you but then when you said idkk with a kinda iffy excuse he probably took it as a no, then didn't want to bring it up all awkward again.
Ball is in your court.
From joy to sorrow, yesterday to tomorrow, you've been there. Friends like you are rare, your touch is so gentle,
You're my guardian angel.
Like a blossoming flower spreading your wings in grace, filling my heart with power
by feeling your embrace.
Wherever the wind may blow, we will overcome this war, in times happy or sore, I will never let you go.
With a gentle warm heart and a will of stone, We'll never be apart, You'll never be alone. - John <3

Yesterday we were talking and he told me he was going out, so I assumed he invited a girl out but he told me "go with me" and I'm like "can't tell if he's kidding or he's being serious" I just said "you're kidding right?" and he didn't bring the subject again, so he's probably kidding?? I DON'T KNOW, he's like this stranger to me all of a sudden.
Do you think I should tell him? UGHHH I'm gonna do it.MAYBE

Dude, you are grabbing his heart and squeezing the living fuck out of it. I know you don't mean to but your crushing that boy, he's not kidding, you have to stop letting your insecurities rule you. SAY YES. ask him to go out with you or something. You have to do it before you hurt him too much or he gives up, you wont get another chance always.
