I don’t really know what to do.....

So there is the guy j and he is so sweet and I like him a lot!! And yesterday he told me he had a crush and it’s someone else. I told him that I feel like I will lose him to this other girl. He told me we will stay close friends like we are now. He lives over a 100 miles away. I really like him and he is just the best and he always makes me blush. we ft when ever we both can and I just wanna tell him that I like him but I also don’t wanna make things awkward. We talk about cuddling, hugging, and watching tv/ movies together. I really miss him. He is so cute as well!! I get so happy when I talk about him and when ever I talk to him it’s like everything falls in to place. Idk if i should post a picture of him?
