More than friends, less than lovers

I just want a place to rant about my love life or lack of.

So, a couple years ago I met this guy. Meeting him set off a series of positive events in my life. At the time I was moving and neither one of us wanted to do the long distance thing. Since then he has been my best friend. I moved to Atlanta to go to film school and he has been one of my biggest supporters. He was so encouraging in moments when I wanted to give up. Fast forward a year and he was going through some heavy stuff. I was there for him too. That’s been our relationship. We’ve just been there for each other. It’s going on two years and he’s my best friend and often times my support system. He’s the first person I want to tell whenever Something good happens. First, He told me that I was someone worth giving all his attention to. (I still don’t know what that means.) Then he kissed me. I mean he kissed me like no other man has ever kissed me before. There’s so much passion between us every time we get together. But maybe I’m the only one feeling it. We haven’t talked about our feelings. I’m afraid to bring it up. Truthfully I love him, But I don’t wanna rock the boat and loose a friend. At the same time I might need to take a step back from the friendship, because I don’t want to have feelings for someone who may not be able to reciprocate. Maybe he’s just as confused as I am. I don’t even know how to bring it up without it being awkward. But honestly if he wanted to be with me he would have said so. Right? I don’t understand men.
