Does she like me? Do I tell him I'm gay?

well here's the thing, I am extremely confused about my best friend. I'm 19 and really fancy her/might be in love with her. I just can't for the life of me work out whether she likes me?! I'm pretty much certain she's not gay, but she does act very 'close' with me when we're together. Like we always have sleepovers and she is very cuddly with me, and she tells me that I'm the most important person in her life (over her family and friends) and that she only really feels truly happy around me, and just pretty heavy things like that. There's other things as well, like when we went out for dinner with some of our other friends we were holding hands under the table. And when I visit her she insists that we sleep in a single bed together even though she has a comfy camp bed?! And we just cuddle up like a normal couple would. We sometimes just lay in bed and gaze at each other as well (sounds so corny I know!) Hmm I'm babbling now, sorry! But yeah I'm just confused, I don't know whether this is 'common' for best friends, or whether maybe she's interested. She doesn't know about my orientation. Oh and we've known each other for around 5 years now. I'm terrified of losing what we already have, hence I haven't told her yet! Thanks very much, sorry about the waffling on!
