I'd quite like to tell him that im interested but am not too sure how to go about it/what words to use because I really enjoy this persons company and don't want to jeopardise any friendship we have because i have feelings that he may or may not reciprocate. His best friend is also sort of after (female) and shes a bit of a jealous psycho so how can I get round that one as well.Thanks guys x

I would show your interest in him in an indirect way. Flirt subtley.
For instance, if you haven't already, ask him how he feels about his best friend. Ask him if he's ever dated her. Just be curious. You don't need to say anything beyond that. This let's him know that:
A.
You are curious in his love life.
B.
You have the capacity to be jealous without being psycho.
If he is the sort of guy who has lots of female friends, this might not work, but it let's him know you've considered in your mind at least what he might be like as a date. If he's interested at all in you, that's a cue.
