I'm in love with my best friend, and it's killing me

Anonymous
I have been friends with him for three years, and have slowly fallen in love with him. We have become closer and closer, now to the point were we hang out almost every night. We use to hang out in groups, but the past few months it has mostly been just us two. I know he is physically attracted to me, because we have fooled around a few times. last time he wanted to fool around I told him no, that it meant something different to me( I have told him that before) and that it was just physical to him. he took me home, and called me later that night. he asked me what I meant and I told him that I had feelings for him. after a while he told me he had feelings for me to, and that he has for a while. we went to sleep and he promised we would talk about it the next day. we didn't, and we didn't the next day either. I've asked him many different times if he really meant what he said or if he was just horny, and he said he really meant it. but we haven't really talked about it

here's my question, sorry it took so long to get to. if he really has feelings for me and he knows I have feelings for him then why hasn't he asked me out, or made a move? is it because he was lying to me because he was horny? or is it because we have been friends so long and it will take time to get to that point. I'm really confused about the whole thing.

please help me!
