Should I just let go?

I've been friends with this guy for about 2 years and I really liked him but I realized that it just wasn't meant to be and I got over it. Then he broke up with his girlfriend and I believe he was flirting with me and he took me to homecoming, it was...

really sweet. And I ended up falling in love with him. But I don't think he's completely over his ex girlfriend and now I'm stuck with rejection. I'm trying to get over it and I know it would be easier if we weren't as close of friends but I don't want to just end our friendship even though I know it's never going to be more. Do you think I should end it or not. I don't want to live with this pain anymore but I don't want to feel more pain for leaving him completely. what should I do?

Its going to kill you when you see him walking down the hall or the streets.. you know you should tell him you like/love him... its a lot easyer then hanging around and letting him date other girls... you will get jelious.

you should tell him. I know how it feels to be afraid of rejection; I'm dealing with that now. but if you don't tell him, things won't get better; you will just keep wondering later in life, what could have happened? would he have said yes? so just sit down with him and talk to him about how you feel. he's a good friend, right? I'm sure he will understand; and he wouldn't want to hurt you; that's the positive side of it.
