Life is about risks. You say if you broke up you might lose a great friend... what if you don't break up? You not only keep your great friend, but you gain a great partner in life. It is possible for relationships to break down and the people involved still be friends. I am still very good friends with a guy I split up with 12 years ago.
Stop thinking negatively about this and start thinking positively.
Try and find out how he feels about you. Drop little hints into conversations, things that would force him to tell you his feelings. Like for example, when you do something silly, say to him something like 'but you love me anyway'. Things like that.
Or you could come right out and tell him you're falling for him and wait for his response.
Either way, you can't spend your life knowing how you feel and wondering how he feels. You never know. he might be the one you're supposed to be with, which you'll never get to find out if you sit back and take no risks. [ Foundsoul's advice column | Ask Foundsoul A Question ]
