Confused

So I was at TUXIS conference this weekend and Saturday night one of my good friends sat me down to have a talk with me. He told me how he was feeling about his current girlfriend and then went on to tell me that he had feelings for another. That 'another' turned out to be two people. One was me and the other is the one who works with me at conferences to put together programming. All in all it was surprising and a little confusing. I knew he liked my partner but I had know clue that he liked me. I thought he liked me as a friend and that was it. That was probably all it was until conference since he told me, "I didn't really bother me not seeing you until I saw you Friday night." That was a kick in the pants. I told him I was interested in him too but I just don't think he actually got the point that I do like him a lot. My life has descended in to a more confusing circle that just keeps spiraling downwards. I can't keep letting myself into these situations. I think I just have to get up enough nerve to tell him how I really feel. I will say I don't care if he likes the otehr more than me, but of course you know that I do care. I care way too much and I guess for me it's a little scary. Who would have known that this would ever happen? God Bless
