    I say speak up. You've gotten to know him and you still like him, so why not? I say this all the time but all the best love affairs start in friendship, so give it a go. Anyways are you expecting fate to do everything? She's a busy woman, give her a hand.

    I don't want to bring you down, but it might help to hear this. Guys really aren't totally clueless (well, not all the time). If we're single and we meet somebody, we decide pretty quickly if we'd like to go out with her. I'm thinking that if he was interested, he would have asked you out by now. Has he been dating other people this whole time? Get this thing settled quickly because your heart is on the line here. Don't waste any more time on a maybe (we've all done it and it's not good). Set a date, tell him you have something to ask him, and don't back out. Don't play the friends game while he dates other people and tears your heart out. If he's not interested, you need to heal from this and then move on. I wish you the best.

    I’d tell him, but not too soon. You might want to look into if he really likes you in the same sense that you like him. That sort of thing can tend to scare some guys off sometimes, so if you do tell him, don’t tell him for how long. Just tell him that you like him and you’d be interested in a relationship.

    Keep spending time with him and maybe try to bring up relationships or if he's interested in anyone. After enough time passes, you can venture into the beyond friends zone and flirt a little bit. It doesn't hurt to try, and you might regret never giving it a shot.

    you never tell a guy you like him..or what you've liked him for years...unless you just say it in a friendly way... yea i used to have a crush on you, but i was shy to tell you...then he'll be wondering if you still do...if his reaction is bad..or no reaction at all then you know hes not interested...but if he starts flirting or asking you out...then you know he might like you too..who knows he might say that he had a crush too...

    dont rush things..just say it very casual...and let things happen naturally..if you think he might be interested do a little flirting..but dont say..oh my god i love you! or anything like that...he'll run away! :)

    good luck.

    I would tell him but then again let him know if he doesn't feel the same way let him know you don't want this to affect the friendship that you two have gained by you telling him how you feel but don't keep it in let him know:)

    Tell him you like him, but don't tell him how long you have. Start it out as "I really like you," if he starts looking at you weird you can cover it by telling him only as a friend. Otherwise see how it goes. You may be surprised.

    If you don't speak your mind, then no one knows. So, you could spend the rest of your life regretting that you never said anything, or you could let him know and possibly have something great!!!! Good Luck!!

    Maybe you could just hint at it so that you don't lose face in the event that he does not feel the same. Best of luck!

    Certainly tell him how you feel. Maybe he feels the same way about you but is afraid to say so.
