Why do I do this to myself? I know every gay dude has this story to tell (I'm not really gay but w/e), but god damnit I can't take it anymore. What do I do here? I really don't wanna lose the only friend I have at college, but I'm starting to get actual chest pains when we're together, and I can't hold his hand or kiss him.

Confess your feelings, but in a way that you'll be friends after of it doesn't work out. I was in a similar situation at uni myself. Good friend, hung out a lot, developed feelings, I eventually just basically said "hey, sorry, I've developed feelings for you and this probably makes things super weird, so just let me know if you're not interested and I'll get things back to how they were."
Turns out he liked me too and we fucked. A lot. Of course part 2 to the story is I got fat and depressed by only having one friend at uni and failed classes trying to make it work, so honestly I'd advise you to shove your limerance into the back of your mind and make new friends.

How exactly did you get from the first situation to the second? Truthfully what I want is what you had. I want him to say he feels the same way, and kiss me and all that other stuff. But beyond what I said, I really have no reason to believe he actually feels that way, and it breaks my heart every time I think about it.
Sometimes I'll catch him looking at me or whatever, and I'll throw him a smile, and he'll smile back, or he'll text me something cutesy with hearts or call me 'babe' or whatever, and I can't help but think that I should just walk over and tell him how I feel. But then I realize there's a good chance he's just fooling around, and it really gets to me.

don't do this anon
You just need to meet more people, OP. You sound really young, and when you're that sheltered you're gonna get feelings for anyone who has good chemistry with you. Almost everyone gets that straight crush that's too close to an actual relationship but it's not.
Bump cos I need someone to make me feel better about this :(

Seconded this.
I would tell him your feelings because I know you're probably dying wondering how he feels. But make sure to stay friends even if he doesn't have feelings, so don't say "I cry myself to sleep every night thinking about you" or anything.

So how do you tell someone you're developing feelings for them without making it awkward?

>I need someone to make me feel better
That is what babies say.
Be an adult and make yourself feel better.
Stop moping and go get some gay friends and maybe have sex.
That will make you feel better.

I meant make me feel better about approaching him about it, not the general situation. Also I'm not really interested in other dudes but that's besides the point.

Get over yourself, faggot. Plenty of fish in the sea.
