<human>: He's my closest male friend. I've actually written about him on this throwaway previously. We met online, and have never met in person, yet we have this crazy connection. He knows I like him (because, like an idiot I managed to blurt it out), but he has no idea how much. All of our "mutual friends" are pretty supportive of whatever this is and keep telling me to just be patient and see what will happen. 

I never wanted to like him from a romantic point, but it happened, and as each day goes by and I begin to know him EVEN better, and we get even closer, the feelings grow stronger. I'm writing here because it's incredibly frustrating to feel like this. I am terrified of telling him more about this for many reasons: 

* I don't want to bother him with it, he already has enough going on
* I don't want it to change things between us (unless it's for the positive)
* I am terrified. 
* And I also don't want to lose him. Even as a friend. 

I tell myself daily that I should just stop and get over myself, but I can't. I realize how extremely pathetic that sounds. I have tried to talk to other people in a romantic way, but when I begin liking them I stop...because my brain automatically compares them to him and there is honestly no comparison. He's fantastic from every aspect in my eyes. 

I could honestly go on and on and on about this, but it would get boring and menial and pointless. I don't know what to do...so I came here. Your opinions are greatly appreciated. Also, feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer them.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I like my best guy friend, whom I've never met, a lot. He knows I like him but not how much. It's getting overwhelming and I don't know what to do.
