Should he stay in the friend zone?

I met a guy on a social networking site and we've been put multiple times. By date two he revealed he had herpes simplex 1. So we decided to be friends. We see each other weekly for dinner movies etc. we talk daily via phone and text messages. We are the last person either of us speaks to before going to bed and when we wake up in the morning. Recently I realize my feelings for him are changing leaning towards wanting to be in a relationship with him. I really like him in fact I think I love him. He is everything I want in a guy. What should I do?
