Will admitting my true feelings ruin a great friendship?

I have strong feelings for a friend and I don't think I can tell him. He's seeing someone and it's extremely awkward. I love him so much and I feel that if I ever work up the courage to tell him, our friendship would never recover. I've known him for a long time and it upsets me that I can't tell him because I'm terrified that I'll lose him as a friend. We're very close as it is and when I'm with him he makes me feel so comfortable and I enjoy spending time with him. Any advice? Thank you

    OO tough situation, I don't think you should tell him how you feel if you don't want to risk the friendship if you do want to risk the friendship then you should tell him he might end up feeling the same way or he might politely reject you but this is what I've always said if its really bothering you no matter what the risk is you should tell him because it's not good to keep your feelings bottled up inside, I was almost in a situation like yours 4 years ago when I was a Freshman in high school except the only difference was he didn't have a girlfriend, one day I just couldn't hold back any longer and I told him about everything I felt he politely rejected me I felt awful, my Jr year I got into my first relationship by almost the end of Senior year my relationship was over and 3 months later the same guy that rejected me my Freshman year asked me out and I accepted he's been my boyfriend since July of 2011 and were still together strong and happy. so I mean you just never know I certainly didn't.
