Advice..

Well, me and a boy I know very well have always been so close for a few years we were close because we were in the same friend cirlce but also because I was suffering with depression and one day he saw me loose it and after a while I told him everything, why it started, what happened and so on but I’ve always considered him as a mate, and this year different people have said stuff to me indicating that he may think of me as more than just a friend and I have been thinking of him more than a friend for a while now but I don’t know what to do? I don’t know if he thinks I may think of him as just a friend or he doesn’t want all the responsibilities of what he thinks comes with me? Because I got help, and am doing a lot better now, I just need some advice
