friends or more?

did you experience being friends with someone and feeling unsure about whether it could potentially be more than that? i‘ve met this guy in law school a year ago and we‘ve become great friends ever since- he joined my friend group, we went on holidays together and kept in touch throughout all this time. i‘ve had a boyfriend throughout this year until i broke up finally in march, it was a very unhealthy relationship. and throughout this year i could feel something between me and my friend but i don‘t think i realised that until right now because now my mind is free to even think about him like that.

he made tiny moves several times like telling me how pretty he thinks i am, telling me drunkenly not to invite him to my wedding because he couldn’t bear it, he once even tried to kiss me and when we slept in the same bed together on holiday he held me in his arms. there is something in the air whenever we look at each other- his friends tell me that as well as mine and i can‘t ignore it anymore. but at the same time it scares me a lot- i‘m scared of ruining our friendship and friendgroup and i‘m scared that we just don‘t match as lovers.

what do i do? do i try to talk to him about it or should i just initiate a kiss and see where it goes? or do i let it be and let him make the first move?
