Help please?

I've really liked one of my guy friends for over a year, and finally am going to tell him how I feel on Sunday. I'm super shy so I'm kinda freaking out. I'm thinking of saying something like "I don't want to ruin our friendship, but I really like you, and have for a long time. I don't want to make things awkward, and want to remain friends either way." What do I do if he says he doesn't return the feelings? I'm afraid it'll be awkward if he doesn't like me and knows I do. Or what do I do if he does like me? Any help is appreciated! I'm really nervous!

Let me also say I'm 17, and he'd be my first boyfriend, and we are both super shy. I'm shy and nervous because I have really bad social anxiety.

    Smile, act like yourself, and remember to breathe! You'll regret it if you don't ask him. Maybe he's been waiting for you to tell him, because he likes you too but he's just too shy to tell you! I have anxiety too and I know how scary and how out-of-hand nervousness can get. Just stay cool and be confident. It's now or never :) Go for it!
