Our friendship started out with us liking each other, then we kind of got over it and I got a boyfriend and was with him for 3 years. But my friend and I talk for hours on end on the phone and consistently talk day after day. It's always been like this, we are extremely close.But now that I'm single again I've began to see my friend in a different way. I almost feel like it's something that was always bound to happen. I consider him my one of my best friends and he feels the same. We just went on a short trip together with some friends and during the trip him and I got even closer, I feel.And at one point he pretty much told me that he likes me but I quickly changed the subject because I was really scared and nervous...trying to "play it cool" or something. Ever since that night we spent together I can't stop thinking about him and I really want to tell him how I feel but I'm so scared. I feel like it's mutual but I'm just terrified..What should I do? How should I approach this?I usually call him all the time anytime but I'm so nervous and scared now. I'm really freaking out

First of all, make sure enough time has lapsed since your last relationship. If this is truly your best friend you don't want it to end up being a rebound relationship.
Just one thought... it sounds like he is your go-to friend for all kinds of problems. Why not find a playful way to bring it up to him on the phone? Like, "I have this problem.. there is a friend who I think I'm falling for..." Don't be so serious about it, be flirty and fun and coax him into playing along. See where that goes.
