<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

So theres this guy. I am pretty much head over heels for him, and it's been going on a while, maybe a year or so. Due to my own self esteem/confidence issues, I've had no idea if he even likes me back or not, so for the past year or so, I've been the friend. The close friend, but the friend. Everything was ok, I mean since he was unaware (I think) of my feelings, he did things that really didn't help my situation, like inviting me over to his house, playing my favorite music, etc. 

Well, about 2 days ago he informed me of a girl he was going to be asking out. A girl that wasn't me. He continues to talk to me about this girl, asking advice, comparing conversations, and it's kind of killing me. I want to tell him, badly, but I don't want to ruin the friendship I've built. At the same time, the question of self preservation pops up, and begs me to tell him and be done.

 So, should I tell him and possibly destroy a friendship, but gain back normal state of mind and happiness, or should I not say anything and just deal with it? I'm tired of thinking about him and thinking about him, and wishing I had done something different. I just want something to happen.
<bot>: Guy I like likes someone else and won't stop telling me about it, thus killing me inside, should I tell him I like him and be done with it?
