All you need is a smile. It goes a long way.

Actually, it's so much easier just to tell him.
I was in the same position as you, it seems. I had a guy who was probably my best friend. The more I got to know him, the more I knew that I liked him as something more than a friend, too. This went on for months. I suspected he felt the same way but I wasn't sure. So finally one night he just admitted it to me, and we've been together ever since. He was so scared to admit it, though.. he was afraid that I wouldn't like him as a friend anymore if I didn't like him as a boyfriend. Looking back on it... we were good enough friends that even if i hadn't felt the same way, I still would have been friends with him.
So... just think about it for a little while... is he a good enough friend that he would still be your friend if he didn't feel the same way? Chances are he is.
Besides... the hinting method of telling someone you like him generally doesn't work. Not only is an average guy rather oblivious to that type of hint, if he feels the same way about you, he's probably going to think all those hints you're giving him are just his imagination anyway. Just go for it! It's really hard... I don't deny that.. but it is DEFINITELY worth it.

The easiest way is really just telling him. Not in some sort of confession of your dying love for him sort of thing though. Just maybe if you're his friend, start up a conversation with him and try & lead it into that direction. About dating & stuff. When you sense the time is right, if it is, tell him then.
If you really don't want to tell him though, just try flirting with him, drop some hints. You never know, he may end up realizing & catching on.

Flirt, smile a lot, start laughing at his jokes and touch his arm a lot. Try to get it to graduate toward hugs, and maybe before long he will ask you out YAY! My BF says while I write this that guys are very simple creatures and only understand direct statements but I still think you should maybe not say anything until you are sure he likes you back.

REALLY THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO TELL HIM BUT IF THATS NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
THEN MABEY YOU COULD TRY A FEW THINGS LIKE TRY HOLDING HIS HAND AND IF THAT DOESNT WORK THAN TRY HUGGING HIM BUT NOT A FRIEND HUG LET YOUR FACE GET CLOSE TO HIS AND TRY TO KEEP HUGGING HIM WHILE YOU LOOK AT HIM. BUT BE SURE TO LET GO LIKE OOPS IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. IF THAT DOESNT WORK YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT IF IT WAS YOU AND HE LIKED YOU YOU WOULD WANT OHNESTY BEFORE GAMES. ALSO IF YOU SPEND TIME TRYING TO GIVE HIM HINTS THAT COULD BE TIME YOU SPEND AS A COUPLE.
GOOD LUCK
ONE MORE THING , THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS DONT PLAY HEAD GAMES LIKE TELLING HIM INFRONT OF OTHERS OR HAVING A FRIEND TELL HIM. THAT SORT OF THING. ITS PRIVATE JUST FOR THE TWO OF YOU.

Start spending more of what i would call us time like going out to eat, movies the mall or just hanging out together offically to you, you guys would be a couple he just want know it. And then when you fell comfortable ask him what do he think about having a girl friend and start the coversation from there.

Just try to get close to him, maybe see about having a girl friend of yours and her boyfriend with you and ur friend you really really like going to movies should work charms if you don't sit the two dudes together make you and your girl sit between them.. thats just one way of course though

Flirt with him in a gentle way. Maybe wear cute outfits and help him whenever he least expects it. If he asks if you like him, just tell him the truth.

my way may take time but it works well
1. become nicer to him slowly so he wont notice
2. make him feel like ur ALWAYS there for him
3. until u feel like he has become ur best friend, talk to him privately like behind ur school or something. tell him that you've been keeping this secret for a long time and u really need to tell him.

i know you said girls only but i being a guy know what will register in his head (maybe) as you hinting that you like him
make eye contact a lot smile when you are around him (especialy when you two make eyecontact and you can tell he is paying attention). greet him with a hug instead of just a hi and when you hug him do it as though you like him. make it flirty but not like overly flirty so he is like "WOAH!!!" but more like "mmmm she is soft"
that should work if not then maybe he is different
