I've been friends with this guy since last year, and we even consider each other best friends. We have a lot in common we trust in each other very much, more than I would trust in someone of the same sex as me. The thing is, a few days ago we suddenly had a deep conversation that I think it made me change my opinion about him, I think I fell in love with him, or at least I have a crush...
I need your help because I don't know what to do, we've been friends for kinda of a long time, but I know he doesn't want to have this type of relationship with me, or at least I think he doesn't. And I wish he did because I want to date him...
I know, the "common" advice for this is "Go on and tell him your feelings." or things like that, but I just can't do it because I'm too shy and I'm affraid I would ruin my friendship with him if I tell him that...

And that's it... it's not really a big deal, but I really need some help about it.

Okay the biggest mistake a person makes is loading all of these feelings onto someone else

It overwhelms them so much they freak out and possibly reject you

If you really like this guy, just say to him, "I've always wondered what kissing you would feel like" and lean in for a kiss

This is a fun and easy way to find out, because if you guys haven't kissed yet this is a good way to gauge your own feelings

If you share everything out at once then they'll get scared, Anna is right.

Tell him that you think you have feelings for him. s

I too am gonna say : don't throw it all out at the same time. I almost did it with my crush, and if weren't for this board, i'd have made one girl very freaked out by now.

Try to ask questions to find out what he think of you. Not as in "do you like me", but masked questions which don't make him suspicious.
Or, if you really are too shy, get a well trusted friend of yours to find out for you. And with trusted, i mean one that doesn't troll you or starts telling your secret to the whole school.
