please help,  i have known a guy for nearly 4 years now and just lately my feelings for him have changed from best friends to wanting something more.

we both had issues that we have had to deal with in the past and were there for each other through out. i now want to tell him how i feel but i am worried that if he doesnt feel the same way it will ruin the close friendship that we have now, i would be lost without his shoulder to cry on.

what do i do? do i leave it and ignore my feelings or should i tell him and risk our friendship surviving?

i would be grateful for any advice even if its to tell me that i am just being stupid.

thanks
