I have a liking for a friend for some time already. I only confirmed my feelings for him when I felt my heart beating very fast when he was sitting beside me and I was looking forward to meet him everytime.
Now I am contemplating whether to let him know or not.. past hurt in relationships is holding me back from taking a step forward. As much as I wanted to move on, I still fear.. fear of being hurt again. Actually I also do not dare to expect anything from him. But I just feel so silly that I am feeling happy over the little things that happened and yet it is all one sided.
I guess he look upon me like a little sister. I never thought that I will feel this way for him but it just happened. What should I do?
Hmm, I used to have this same problem? I have liked this guy more than a year before I could bring myself to confess to him. Before that, it was pure nightmare. I kept second guessing his motives everytime he did something as innocent as to message me suddenly and asking me out, and everytime he did something for me, I would ask myself,"Does this mean he loves me?"
So I see my confession to him as a closure. I told myself that if the response is positive, then we will move on to become a couple. If not, then at least I know the answer and I will never ask myself the "what if" question again.
He told me that he only sees me as a friend, a very close one. Even though we can spend hours just talking to each other, but he says he feels comfortable with me, but he has no feelings towards me. So we agree to remain friends, and until this day, the friendship is still intact

So, I think it would be good for you to confess to him how you feel. Because you will not have any regret even if it ended in rejection. And if you worry about risking the friendship, I believe that a strong friendship can withstand this kinda test.
What happened to me after the rejection? Yes, I was hurt but after a while, I can see that maybe Life has something else in store for me, and I moved on. If not because of the rejection, I would not have met my ai ai today

Good luck
