I am so Confused about loving someone

Some times its so hard to say yes to someone or something.. like right now i've got this friend whos been woth me from past about 4years or so and now my cosin comes and asks him if he like me in that sense and he says yes when the thing woth me is that i never even bothered thinking about him like that, so now im starting to like him and i want to tell him becuase i well im not sure and i dont want to tell him becuase im scared that just incase we break up what if i loose him as a friend to. I think im talking this too seriously and all my friends are telling me not to tell him and to forget him but im confused. So should i be worried about this or not?

Dont be too worried, and you can still break up with some1 and be good friends.

but if you really want him 2 know, drop a few hints here and there. like show that your a little more intrested

Well your friends are wrong you should do what you feel is right.. because if you dont then someone else will snatch him before you can tell him!! best thing is to spk to him on msn if you both got it while there no one else around.. n just say lk i just want to know.. if he says no it were a lie i dont then you know where you stand etc n no one gets hurt at all!!!

or yes you could flirt but then it just pro longing the feeling from developing etc n someone will get hurt
