I dont know what to do

Hi, im in need for a little help, Im not really sure what to do.

About 3 months ago I asked my friend if he liked me and he said yes, back then I had a boyfriend [ who I was just really trying to break up with but he turned out to be kind of a...

"psycho", but thats not the point ], I had a boyfriend and I felt kind of awkward, I wanted to tell him that I liked him but I thought it would be wrong to tell him since he obviously knew I had a boyfriend; so I just told him that we could only be friends instead. A few weeks after that I finally got my ex to stop talking to me and stuff so I decided to tell my friend that I did like him, when I told him he told me that he was sorry but that we could only be friends, so I figured alright I lost my chance. We still talk, and I really really do still like him, and some people say he does still like me but I dont know, he's confusing, sometimes it feels like he wants to talk to me and when I dont talk to him for a few days he says stuff like "I missed you" and sometimes it feels like im just annoying him and hes avoiding me. I dont want to know if he likes me or not, I mean I do but I guess I kind of gave up already, I just feel like I need to let him know how I feel and I really want to tell him but when im about to, I just get scared and decide not to tell him. My best friend told me that I should tell him and just let it all out but im not sure, I mean he already told me that we could only be friends and I think if I tell him that I stilll like him it might sound like I dont know im obssesed or something like that so thats why I dont want to tell him, but at the same time I think I need to let him know how I feel, I dont know what to do, I guess im just looking for some opinions or advice. ill really appreciate it if anyone can help.

maybe he said that to protect himself from getting hurt. he apparently likes you so just tell the guy how you feel. if I was your friend and I liked you and didnt know that you liked me in that way I would want and hoped that you would tell me how you felt about me.

You already told him, and he said you two can only be friends, so why do you have to tell him again? Hes going to think your just not getting it.
