He used to like me, now I like him :/ How can I win him back?

Anonymous
Ok so there is this guy, we are really great friends. Basically we are comfortable on all levels and can tell each other anything. Last year he liked me for around 5 months going into summer, but I didn't like him back. I mean he would hold me by my waist and not let go, flirt with me, he told me I was the only girl he could be himself around, console me when I was crying, get jealous of the guys I had a thing for and keep all my secrets. Now that it's the beginning of the school year I realized, I liked him. My friend decided to tell him this, and she said he seemed torn (as though he still had feelings for me) but said differently. He also went home and took everything into consideration but still decided to stay just friends. I think part of the reason he is reluctant is because there is this one girl in one of his classes that I recall him calling hot that maybe he has hope for and likes her, or that he is insecure. But he honestly does know we have a connection both physically and emotionally. How can I strengthen the feelings that are already there and do I have a chance? Do think he may still like me? Any advice is welcome. My friends also think that if me and him hung out his feelings would become stronger, and may even try to kiss me I feel the same, but I also feel he might not follow through with the plans if we make them. help please? by the way I know I can't force someone to like me, but if he already liked me a lot and possibly still does I can maybe help the process right?
