I have a friend who's a guy. We've been friends since 3rd grade and I care about him very much. Although lately these feelings have escalated into love. I really want to be with him but I know he doesn't want to be with me. He might go out with me just to make me happy, but I know in my heart that he wouldn't be happy. I don't know what to do.

Well, you can definitely just straight out tell him something along the lines of:
"I hate keeping things from you so here goes: I really like you and care about you but I know you don't feel the same way. But I don't want to ruin the friendship or have you go out with me just to make me happy" blah blah blah.
Try to hang out with different guys and see that there are a whole lot more guys to choose from than just him. I'm sure you'll find pretty awesome guys out there.
Don't tell him and just move on...although this is a pretty bad option.

You have 3 choices. Either you TRY to move on and find someone else or you never tell him and keep hiding it or you can tell him and come clean about it no matter what gets in the way. It's your call, no one will make the desicion for you.
My advise is be honest with your feelings. Take a risk for love. You can take a chance and tell him how you feel. If its too hard then maybe you can write it on a note or a letter.
If you dont take a risk, you might end up like me. I've never taken a risk, and my result is ive never been in a relationship. Im always too scared of having my heart broken. Im a very cautious type of person. But dont be scared like me. IF your heart does break =( it will heal. Maybe quickly, maybe slowly but it will heal.
But if it was me, id never have the guts to tell him, not only that, but id be too afraid. Id be thinking that maybe if i told him it might ruin our relationship as friends. Also it would be really hard for me to move on to someone else pretty quickly. I would just keep hiding it and hope maybe one day he would return my feelings. Dont follow my footsteps.
Maybe that wasn't much help and was too confusing. But think about it and see whats best for you. Good luck with everything. Take care. <3 =) I hope i helped. Update me, if you need anything else, leave a question in my inbox. =D
