I felt in love with him after 3 years!

I have a friend of mine for about 3 years now. He was in love with me since we met, but I didn't felt anymore but friendship at the time, so, we never get involved. But we used to talk very much, spend time together and with our group of friends. About a year ago, he saw me with the man I was dating at the time, and said to a common friend that he give up about me, that he's sad and he's seeing we'll never have nothing together but friendship.

At the time, I was used to the "bad boy type", so, I never really SAW him!!! I guess some months ago I became sick and tired of that kind of guys, and I guess I grew up a little, and I started seeing him in a totally diferent way. I started seeing him very cute, I want to hug him and kiss him when I'm near him, I think about him all the time, I guess I fell in love with him...

He's a very nice man, good character, friendly, caring. But I don't know what to do now!!! I don't know if he yet feels something about me or not. We do have a good friendship, and sometimes he look at me in a way more then a friend would do, but... what can I do to show him my affection? It's been a year since he said he give up. Do I speak to him openly about this? Do I try to making him understand not in a open way? Do I invite him to go out? Please advice!!!

Since you go way back -3 years of friendship- I'd suggest to ask him out and say it in the open. If you "hint" he may not catch it, as he's "given up on you".
