ask him out.plain and simple.hon,i know that its going to be hard,but it will be easier to just get it over with.

Rejection is hard but hey you'll get over it ask him to see a movie he wants to see and everything should take flight from there

You should take it slowly. Know him for about 2-3 years and then tell him. You have to know perfectly well how to react to him, how to tell him that you love him, so in that case, you'll have to know his character and personality extremely well. Then, some time, you should tell him, you know, __ (whatever his name is), I have something to confess. And then he'll say what? And finally, you say, I love you.
