He's been my best friend since high school started, even though we don't go to the same school anymore. We weren't close in middle school.

And as of lately, I've been thinking about him more than a friend does.
I want to have a relationship with him.

I don't know HOW to tell him, or if I should even tell him at all.

Ask him out for a friendly get-together. What did you enjoy to do together before? Go see a movie together or something.

The first step to a relationship is friendship. Get to know him better. Catch up on each other's lives in a coffee shop. The more you see each other, the closer you get. The closer you are, the easier for a deeper relationship.

My advice: don't tell him just yet. First, hang out more.

I totally agree.

Since you haven't been in contact with him IN PERSON for very long, I think you need to get together with him and hang out more. If the only contact you make is through IM, it's probably not a real relationship. So don't tell him anything yet. Just invite him to hang out with you. And it's a lot better to tell him up front, in person, eye to eye, what you feel about him. If you're too scared to do that, you probably aren't ready for a relationship.

Very good advice.

However, I'm a bit concerned that you aren't exactly sure of your feelings.
You said you have only seen him once in the past two years?
Your only connection with him today is over the net?
How realistic is a relationship, and how well do you truly know this kid?
What about him is appealing to you...?
