I'm kinda not so sure about this fwb thing and how it may affect your "relationship" dynamic.

That aside, this is my 2cents: go and tell him exactly how you feel about him and see how he responses. All cards on the table. I know you said there are feelings which hold you back, but if you're "crazy" enough about this, it will override those feelings. If you've seriously thought things through, feel that there is "something" and want a shot, do it. Do it for yourself, it may become something more, it may not. Thing is, you'd know that you tried and wouldn't have to deal with regrets.

^ This is what I say to friends who tell me about their relationship blues. Want something/someone bad enough, go after it. Except when that person is attached, not interested, a "user" or abusive...etc...
