Hi there, my friend said you gave them good advice so I wondered if you could help me?
Basically, there is the guy I really like, we get on really well - I consider him to be my best friend - but I'm afraid to tell him how I really feel as I dont want to ruin our friendship. Yet, I feel he might like me back. But then again, he might just see me as a friend. I'm not sure what to do, should I risk it and tell him how I feel, or just leave it so I dont make things awkward?

And how close friends are you? If you occasionally see each other, it's won't be as bad as if you see each other every day.
Saying that, I think the best option is to say how you feel. And then, if he doesn't want to take things forward, stress that you still want to be friends. But don't just say it. Still be sure, and make sure you remain friendly.
But brace yourself. You may not (or may, even) hear what you want. Not because he does not like you, but maybe he feels the same as you - maybe he doesn't want to ruin a good friendship. That can be just as risky.

1. The safe route. Say nothing and know you are friends and that's ok.
2. The risky route. You don't want to look back years from now, wondering "What if?" so you go for it and take a chance. If he says yes, then that's ok. If he says no, then oh well, at least you took a chance. You guys can laugh it off to ease any awkwardness.

You never know he might like you,just tell him how you feel or if you really don't want to just show him that you like him by being there for him as friend and make sure you hangout with him a lot but trust me this takes time i mean you could basically either wait for him to come to you or you tell hime how you feel. i went through the same thing and i was the kind of person that waited until the guy came to me and he eventually did. although wished i didn't wait all those months because they felt like years to me..
