<human>: I've known this guy for about two years. (I'm Female, 20. He's Male, 30). The main reason he doesn't know is because I actually couldn't tell him. He's my college tutor so I couldn't say anything as it would jepodize his career.

I've now finished my course so now there is nothing holding me back, apart from the thought of getting hurt and losing our friendship. Although he was my college tutor I do class him as a friend. 

I've been hurt twice before for falling for friends and I don't want this to happen with him. 

I know it's serious because I would say that I've had three serious feelings, including this one, but this is by far the most intense.

What I would like some advice on is this. I've played out scenario after scenario in my head of different ways to tell him, but they all seem so cliche and like a scene from a bad rom com. 

How can I tell him without seeming like this? I want to be romatic and make it special. 

Please help me Reddit.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: I'm in love with this guy who I think is something special but don't know how to tell him without it playing out like a bad rom com scene.
