Confession

I'm starting to develop a crush on one of my best friends and I know he likes me but I'm scared to date anyone in fear of being heart broken so I put him in the friendzone yesterday (I told him about how I think of him as a brother even though I don't) and I could tell that he was upset by it. The worst part is that before it he'd basically told me that he likes me (he said that he never wanted to share a boat with this one girl while we were at the beach, "it was never her, it was always you that I wanted") and I feel so guilty, I'm scared I made the wrong choice
