Hopelessly Devoted. (It's long but I could really use some advice.)

I'm not sure how much help I can be, but it sound as if you really like this Tom. Maybe it would be worth sitting down and biting the bullet - like you say, some time has passed so maybe he is ready to offer more than friendship now. It will be difficult I think, but if you tell him then he knows for sure you like him more than just as a friend. Then it will be up to him whether he likes you back as much.

If you do do this, you might have to prepare yourself that he still just wants to be friends.
