I've been friends with this boy for over nine months now, he's become my best friend, but at Christmas i asked him out. Of course he said no, but i still have very strong feelings for him.
We've never discussed the fact that i asked him out, and so we're awkward around each other sometimes. I really think i'm falling for him. And i have no idea what i should do. I'd probably scare him off if i told him how i feel.

Thanks for the tips, is there anything else i can look out for that might show that he's interested in me?

There's only one way to find out, TELL HIM. It will be a huge weight lifted from your shoulders. It is very common that someone will never even think about going out with you but when they find out that you're interested, their attitude will change and they will find themself infatuated with you as well. Since you told him how you feel at Christmas, it might have sparked something in his mind and he could want to be your boyfriend but doesn't have the guts to tell you. There are some signs that you can look for before you tell him though. You need to look into his eyes and see if the black parts are bigger then normal. Also, if he likes you, he will touch you a lot. Not in a bad way. (Let's say that you and him are in a narrow place and he needs to get passed you, he might grab ahold of your shoulders or waist and make his way to where he needs to go." You also need to pay attention to what kind of things he says to you.
