Friends 4ever? Or r we 2 chicken to be more?

so me and this guy r super tight! I've had a crush on him since the minute i saw him. We have been thru fights but have always worked them out in the end. His was hangiong out with my friend and he sed that he loves talking to her and whatnot but the way he put it seemed they talk ed about serious stuff! Ne way we worked that out thru text and face to fac. I toold him i love him like 3x now. I am 95% sure that he likes me 2. Cuz whenev i'm around hes always smililng he's always have some sort of physical contact with him(leaning on me, tickling me, ect). EVERYONE says were dating but were not..officially. I really wnat to kiss him, but i'm scared that he'll freak out on me and i don't want that to happen. What should i do? I just want to get 2gether (I'm not a high maitence GF either).
