A great friendship, but something more?

I have known this guy for a year now. Over this time, we have became the best of friends. We "fight" but never really mean it, and we just understand each other. At one point we did like each other, but now we are really close friends.

I sort of tried to ignore the fact of me still liking him, but I do still like him. We are around each other a lot of the day. Hang out after school. And it's pretty difficult being around him.

Our other friends tease us A LOT. And he knows that I like him, a lot.

He will say things like "don't think about it too much, because then it will make us upset. and i don't want that for us." He told me that I would eventually find someone because I have a great personality, etc etc.

What i'm trying to get at is that the only thing stopping us (I think) is that he doesn't want to ruin our friendship. What do I do? Do you think he reciprocates the feelings?
