Should i tell him? or should we just stay close friends??? (anyone)?

Haha so my best friend happens to be a boy and he was the one who liked me. It took him foreverrrr to tell me (since 2nd grade until 8th) lol so anyways when he told me, we realized that we are so much better as best friends. because if we were to date and then breakup we were afraid our relationship wouldnt be as good. so we decided that we were to stay best friends and since then our relationship has been amazing. he has a girlfriend, i have a boyfriend but we still tell eachother everything and hangout. i'd say if you feel comfortable with actually ever dating him, take a shot at it. drop hints that you like him or whatever and he may ask you out! if you'd rather know him forever and be close to him, dont date him. it really isnt worth it. i say go to the festival as friends and see where that leads.. like just say "Wanna go to the festival together. as friends tho!!" and see his response. i hope this helped a little
