<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

I met him two years ago through a mutual friend. We've been great friends ever since. I was into him from the first time I met him, but never acted on these feelings. He got drunk and told me that he cares about me, wants to spend more time with me, etc. When I ask him about it sober, he says, "drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts" but never acts on anything. 

I know that I'm in love with him, but I don't know how to tell him, or what to do. Even if he backs off, I think I need to get it off my chest. Do you think it's better to speak my mind and get hurt, or say/do nothing and not know for sure?
<bot>: I'm in love with my friend who has made drunken comments about "spending time together" and I need to know if and how I should tell him.
