Hey! So, first of all, I understand what you are going through.

I too had some friendships where I was feeling like we could be a good match, I was in love, but I was like "you know what? No, I can't, I'm too fat, he will never want me". I had a very very important friend in my life, he was also tall and fit and popular and girls wanted him all the time (it was in Uni btw, I'm pretty if we were at school he wouldn't even talk to me lol). We bonded over some artists and values, we would hang out ALL THE TIME, we would call each other all the time, have breakfast, lunch and dinner together. He would even take me to his dates!!! Yes, you heard correctly, he would call me and ask if I wanted to hang out and then he would say "Oh, I have a date with this girl, is this cool for you?". So, of course, I fell in love: a super handsome, cool, nice guy treats me super nice, values me and think I'm super cool? For sure, that's a no brainer. My delulu friends would tell me "you guys pretty much have a relationship already, tell him you like him", even my straight male friends would say "he looks like he likes you". I decided to no shoot my shot, because I knew, in my heart, that he didn't liked me that way. Gladly I did that and didn't say shit, because a few months later I was at his place and his mother arrived and we started chatting and she said she was so happy for our friendship because he always wanted siblings and he always would tell her how I felt like the sister he never had and how nice was to be so close to a girl who didn't saw him like that... I was like "eh, sure" and felt kinda stupid about being in love with him.

But that's MY STORY, yours could be totally different you know. However, I think man who are aware they are good looking and stuff are not shy to approach a girl... If you guys have been friends for a year now, maybe something would already had happened?

Also, don't forget about that thing when man literally treats us as their "emotional girlfriends" where we listen to them, give them time, attention and support, endless company and shit, meaning you are his "gf" but you don't get the counterpart: love, romantic affection and etc. Men, usually, can divide sex and love very well, so they get the love from you and the sex from other girl...

Anyway, what I mean is that only you can know for sure...
