Need some advice with boy problems?

i definitely think you should tell him you like him, he just might end up telling you exactly how he feels. you gotta take risks in life even if you end getting embarrassed, you'll never find out what you need to know unless you take that first step. i kinda understand how you feel because i went through a similar thing last summer, i really like one of my close friends and i never in my life thought i would like him but i started developing these feelings for him. and i knew i could keep it to myself so i told my best friend, and she encouraged me to call him and tell him so i did. i was extremely nervous but i did it anyways. 3 months later we ended up going out, and we still do till this dayy.
