is there still a chance ??

okayyy guys i need help ive been liking the same guy on and off we have never dated but we have come close everytime we start talking again he never shows his feelings its always me pouring out mine. the summer of 2016 we talk like talk talk and i was into it and thought he was too one day i thought he was gonna ask me out FINALLY but instead he told me he wasn’t ready 😭 i was heartbroken then i went into freshman saying f boys f boys once it got to the last month of school he wants to text me and be all buddy buddy again soo we start talking again and im just maybe this time things will work but on july 4th he wants to text me saying we should just be friends... heartbroken again 😭😭 now its the start of 10th grade and i still like him and we are “friends” but i still want more then that ive been to his football games and cheered him on ive been a great friend but i think i can be a great girlfriend too. my question is DO you think there is a chance be and him can finally be bf and gf ... if so how should i ask without getting rejected again ?????????
