How do I get out of the friend zone?? Ladies, SOS.

So. There’s this guy. We have been friends for years and years. And I have been in love with him the whole time. I’m talkin head over heels type shit. Slight problem: he lives about 1,500 miles away from me.

We flirt all of the time- it drives me insane!

He’s going to be flying out to me for my birthday in a few weeks and I’m afraid I have no idea what to do with myself.

Do I try to get out of the friend zone? Do I play it safe and just hang out with him as friends? How do I know how he feels about me for sure? He’s not the type of person to come right out and say how he feels. I don’t know what to do!! I’m a virgin and he’s not. This could be the last time I see him EVER because we’re both going off to college in a year. Should I go for it? What if he doesn’t feel the same way and is super uncomfortable while he’s visiting me? What if I ruin our friendship??? He’s my best friend. The only person I talk to every day and feel 100% comfortable with. HELP!
