Sit down with him one day and just explain to him that you do in fact have feelings for him, but if he doesn't feel the same way then you understand and will NOT pressure him to date you, like you, etc. Tell him that your friendship is what you value most in the world, and you won't allow your feelings to affect your friendship in any way. If he does reciprocate your feelings, BAM! You win. Or, the same thing can happen to you as to me, and he will tell you that he loves you and values your friendship but doesn't see you in that way. If that's the case, tell him you're a little bummed but you understand, then look him directly in his eyes - don't break eye contact so he can tell you're sincere - and say that you really don't want this to affect your friendship in any way, you just wanted to put it out there in the interest of being completely honest and, of course, just in case he felt the same.
As long as you're sincere and you don't A) do it in a public place or somewhere he'll feel awkward or pressured, or B) make it awkward yourself, you will be totally fine IF you stress repeatedly that your friendship is what you value the most, and everything else is secondary.
My suggestion is that you speak your mind about how you feel about your friend. Take it from me, my boyfriend told me how he felt about me when I first met him, and he spoke his mind about how he felt for me when we first started dating. If you like him that much, tell him how you feel and speak your mind.
I think it is alwaya gonna end up a good idea to tell your best friend that you like him like him...the real question is,...how do you say it :P .
If your friendship falls apart because of honesty, then it wasn't that strong a friendship to begin with.
The thing is, keeping your feelings a secret won't prevent you from becoming jealous of your friend if/when he gets involved with another girl. THAT can really hurt your friendship since you're either going to have to remain silent and jealous, or tell him and potentially ruin his relationship with the other girl. There's no positive outcome in that scenario.
If you tell him, then he will either reciprocate or not. As long as you're prepared to handle rejection, and he's decent enough to appreciate how hard it must have been for you to tell him, you should be okay. If he doesn't reciprocate, there might be a weird time when he doesn't want to hang out with you because he doesn't want to lead you on and you still have feelings for him. But you'll find someone new, and you'll be able to move on.
Then you can go back to being friends again, hopefully closer now because of what you've been through.
I actually have a girlfriend who was asked if why don't you date your bestfriend. And she was like because she has known him for so long it will be awkward and she wasn't sure if she actually likes him that way. I think it comes down to how you feel I don't think I would want to date my bestfriends because if I am in a relationship and it goes sour that is who I always turn to for comfort. And if I was dating my bestfriend who do I have to turn to know but just a regular friend. However if you do really like your bestfriend definitely tell it to him face to face. Be direct and don't be scared to say how you feel.

OMG, you remind me of me (:
I was in the exact same situation 4 months ago.
And now I'm very happily going out with her (:
Tell him, when you are best friends being in a relationship is much more meaningful.
Its really amazing, and at first you may fight, but it just gets better and better.
"It's always darkest before the dawn"
To sum it up I totally recommend you telling him, you won't regret it, and on how to tell him, just tell him, In person, what I did and I played truth or dare, and when he asks you choose truth, if you really are best friends he will ask you who you like, and just say: "YOU".
Trust me, its amazingly powerful, it will shock him, make him happy and then, its up 2 him on what happiness next. But I'm sure what happens will be good.
Keep me posted on what happens please.
Best of luck
this is teting your maturity...in my view you should tell him,maximum what will happen,he would say no...but that should not affect your friendship,
...if he doesn,t understand you...then only your friendship would be affected...which will show that you guys don't understand each other well...
...trust your friendship...and say everything...
Go ahead and tell him if he doesn't feel the same way it won't affect your friendship for very long 4 months tops. As for how to tell him, ask him who he likes, most guys won't say even if its not you but it might get him to ask you who you like. If this does work right then just tell him its him. If it doesn't work you should try just telling him whenever your alone and I would advise against texting, emailing, or using some other form of talking that isn't in person.
