I've known my best friend for about 5 years now. We met in high school and were in a couple classes together. We were pretty much aquaintances that only talked at school. Around graduation I started dating someone and since this guy was one of his friends I got to know him more and more. Pretty soon we were great friends, best friends. I got engaged and even moved out of state and then came back only a short time later having left my fiance. This was last year. This past January I was preparing to move into my new apartment and decided to call my friend because I was bored. He wanted me to hang out until he was done working so I drove to his work and was there until about 2am, where then we went back to our friend's place who was away. He had been asked to watch their dog. We started watching a movie and well, long story short we ended up kissing and having sex. His girlfriend had just broken up with him, so he said that with me everything was so comfortable. He talked about it being a one time thing and I thought no big deal of it. Pretty soon I realized that I really liked him, and was soon starting to fall for him. He felt very awkward afterwards and we didn't really talk for about 2 months. We've just started reconnecting since the beginning of this month and it made me realize how much I really do care about him. I want to tell him I how I feel, but I'm afraid he'll get freaked out again, and I hated losing him as a friend for these past couple months. A friend told me he said he didn't want to "hook up" again because he didn't want to ruin our friendship. Sometimes though I get a vibe that he could have more feelings for me, but doesn't want to jeopardize anything, but they could just be lost hope. What should I do?
