How should I confess to my crush?

Anonymous

I plan on confessing to my crush. He's my best friend and I'm really not sure if he kinda knows I have a crush on him.

He told one of our mutual friends that he does not see me in a romantic way but that was about a year or so ago. We have spent a lot more time together since then and went through a lot together. There is a chance that he might still not like me back but I feel like I should just finally let him know.

What made me decide on confessing is he mentioned to one of our mutual friends that if someone likes him, she should just tell him because guys are pretty oblivious when it comes to these kinds of things. He's been joking around telling people I'm his other half and wherever one of us goes, the other one has to go.

I'm mentally preparing myself to be rejected because of what he said a year ago. But what is the best way to confess so that things won't be so awkward after that and we can still remain best friends?
