If you truly like him, tell him. Don't do it over text or email. Like pretty much everything in life, if you want something, you have to be prepared to risk being uncomfortable. The truth is, if he says he likes you too, then awesome! If he says he doesn't, there is no need to be upset. Why allow yourself to waste time wallowing in self pity? Ask yourself, "will my life continue if he says no?" I'll help you answer that one: YES! Remember that you create your world, however cliché that may sound. You, and you alone, create your experiences. The result is entirely up to you. :)
