In love with best friend, way more complicated - 88% Normal

My story?
ok, well- i've been in love with my best friend for two years now. the problem is, he happens to also be my ex.
after we broke apart, i didn't realize, but he had loved me even after we spilt. being as oblivious as i am, i just thought he was showing a great deal of affection because he knew i was hurt from our separation.
Now, it seems like he no longer feels that way, but I miss him so much. I need him so much. He tells me he loves me, but i know he only means it as a friend. We talk all the time, and if something's bugging me i know i could tell him, but i just can't get around to tell him this. Because If I do, i'm terrified i'll loose him, and he's just so good to me. I really want to tell him thought, but I don't know if i should or not.
He had had some feelings for a good friend of mine. He confined me about her, telling me everything he liked about her. Asking me what he should say when she's around. Thankfully, he does not have feelings any more.. But my friend still might. That good friend told me over and over again that I should just confess my feelings for him, but I don't really trust her. I don't know what to do. I don't know if it's enough to break our friendship, i just don't know. Don't tell me i don't love him, because I know i do.He protects me and cares about me even now. if you have some advice for me, i'd gladly appreciate it.
Do you think it's normal?

You should tell him how you feel. The worst he could do is tell you he appreciates you telling him but he would just like to remain friends. So either way you still get to keep your friend, but if he says he isn't feeling you that way then don't make it complicated he may change his mind in the future.
have a shower together:)

listen to xoxoxo thats just might work .
guys tend to get attached to freinds if they have sex ( especialy good freinds) . idk y we just do . lol
Well I don't know about the sex part BUT I'm going to share my experience. I'm in love with my bestfriend(we have been friends for 3 years) and the thing is that today I started to tell him, and before I could say anything he already knew. Right now we are still best friends. He told me he's not prepared to have a relationship right know. I'm just glad he reacted maturely and things went to normal (or I hope so).

I say go for it, the worst thing that could happen is that he doesnt feel the same way.
You two are soulmates dear! Go forth and tie the knots back! All the best :)
ok that sounds exactly like my story, once, i felt in love with my ex, exactly like you did, he still loved me and everything, but i told him too late and he didnt had feelings for me anymore, anyways, we continued our friendship.

and other time, i felt in love with my best friend. he told me he loved me and everything, and it looked like he started to look me as something more than a friend, but one day, he died, and I never told him how did i feel.
i know, its sad, and it was real.

tell him how you feel
Watch friends ,the Rachel and Raus episodes
AM not being funny ..........
(OR maybe I am :)
If you haven't tried you'd never know. It's better to know if it's going to work or not rather than just thinking about it. You'll be relieved if you be honest with him since you are still friends.. this is just a great thing already

Give it a shot :)
just how similar this is to my own situation is just weird. Tell him how you feel, you never know he might still feel something for you, expect he's just buried it deep down because he accepted a while ago it wasn't happening.
i completely agree
this is completely normal

i hate to say this but either tell him now of forever hold your piece
He probably spent all that time trying to get over you, only now to find that you love him again. I don't think it's a good idea to be too direct...
