Answer:
Coming for a girl, My advise it to bring up the topic and ask if he likes anyone, and see what he says, since you guys are pretty close he would probably tell you who it was but if he is a little hesitant about it he probably likes you too. so after that you should slowly bring up that you like him, say like " so I kinds like you more than just a friend but if you don't feel the same way about me if fine, i don't want this to change anything about our friendship" that's my advice hope this helps : )
