This happens to many of us, you meet a guy, get close and become best friends. Having a boy best friend is great they teach you all the games and reason guys do things to help you with boyfriends and are they when your heart is shattered into a million pieces. You think the friendship is great but then life throws a spanner into the works and one of you develops feelings for the other. I don't know about you but that is the worst thing in the world he's not just anyone you have a crush on he's your best friend. If he likes you back it's amazing I mean being with your best friend is great, you know everything about eachother and already know everything you need to know but when he doesn't like you back or won't admit he likes you back it's a killer. Feelings can tear a friendship apart if you don't handle it properly especially a close friendship. Personally from living through this I recommend talking to eachother and getting everything out in the open, don't hide things from eachother because it makes everything worse. Don't give him hints that you like him tell him upfront boys are terrible with hints and maybe if your confident he'll admit feelings or start to develop them. Flirt with him, ask him who he likes, be you but don't push him to far because it pushes them away and make them not want to be you friend anymore.
Really hope this helps,
