I think some of the best couples started as friends. Sometimes the feelings aren't mutual and that can certainly make things awkward, but if you do keep those feelings concealed, it will end up causing more problems and you will probably end up pushing your friend away anyway. I think it's best to risk it. How can you have a good friendship if it isn't honest?

I would love to agree but i'm still afraid of rejection and once he reject me it will only means love and friendship will end unless he will understand everything. I hope it make sense.

That's very understandable to feel that way. I'm not saying that it has to be an immediate thing, but I think that eventually you should. Maybe drop hints to see how your friend feels. Ask your friend what their ideal partner would be and things like that.

Well in situations like those I weigh my options. If I really feel a very strong attraction to someone I won't let anything stand in my way of being with them. However if the attraction is relatively weak, I would not risk the friendship by starting anything.

If the feeling is mutual, I don't think there's anything wrong to risk. In some cases, love can even make the friendship stronger. Keeping your true feelings is not being honest with the other person. In this case, we can't call this friendship as well because true friends are honest with each other. Yes, it is really hard to risk friendship but you can't definitely hide your feelings forever.
