How to let my best guy friend now i like him (10 points)?

Drop some hints. It seems like its kinda obvious for both of you that you guys have a thing for eachother. Chances are he likes you too and he just doesnt know how to break the ice. Say some things in text like "i kinda like you" and things like that. That way you can back out and say you just meant as friends but im kinda sure you wont have to back out. You 2 seem to connect, so just let it out..
