Is there any point should I go for it for that slim speck ghost of a chance?

I'm in love with my guy friend, madly in love... i know for a fact though... that i am not his type romantically... such as physical attraction... he thinks im pretty but i know im not his type. Also he is smarter than me as far as education, and he's very successful in life unlike me... i just feel not good enough for him. he's very handsome too.. someone with my looks of just kinda pretty and needs to lose some weight... just doesn't get a guy like him usually... Anyhow... knowing im not his type in that way... i feel there's no chance for me with him... so no point in telling him im in love with him... but there's a part of me that really needs to tell him to get it off my chest... and to see if i actually have a chance... but im scared to tell him. I won't lose him as a friend, so dont consider that when you answer, i won't. But im scared he will think im nuts for it, or ill make him feel so awkward and all. Im honestly hurting bad cause i really want us to be more... and its hard holding it in, an knowing we prob will never be more... and im scared to tell him i love him... but i really want to see if there is a chance... im just so scared and I don't know what to do.
