How can i tell him how i feel?

Recently, my ex-boyfriend has come back into my life and it has made me happy because after almost a year I still care for him. First of all, after almost 6 months of hardly any contact because of his new girlfriend not wanting him to see other women, he shows up at my house out of no where. Since then we have seen each other a few times but only for a short amount of time. The last time we did see each other he seemed to be trying to be close to me but not go overboard. We were watching t.v. and he didn't seem nervous at all. He just cuddled up on my couch and acted totally relaxed, then he kept just like touching my arm when he would talk or just reach out and touch me when we were talking. He also rested his legs on mine. Could this be his way of getting close or am I just going overboard on friendly gestures? I haven't called him because i don't want to seem desperate. I really still care for this guy but I really don't know if I should just go out and tell him. I also need some advice on how to get him to think I feel for him. I'm on the shy side when it comes to talking to men about how i feel for them and i just don't think I could go right out and kiss him, although I have wanted to for quite some time now. Does anyone know any tips that could help me or anything I could do to get his attention on my feelings for him.

I'm not quite sure. I just don't want to tell him how I feel and be rejected. I have very strong feelings for him and just not quite sure what my options are.

Well you can not say anything and wonder what could have been, or you can say something and risk losing your friendship with him.
