I like my fwb 😳

I’ve been friends with benefits with this guy for almost 6-7 months now and I’m high key starting to fall head over heels for him.

I didn’t think he felt the same way but when I was hanging out with his friends during new years they said how he much he talks about me and how he likes me and tht got me really happy but also they were drunk.

I started giving him hints that I like him but now he’s starting to ignore me a lot. I honestly really like this but

1) I’m too shy to tell him

2) I don’t want to ruin our friendship and what we have rn since we also work together so I don’t want that to be awk

Any advice
