Well I feel like my friendship with my best friend is fading and I feel like we're not as close as we used to be. I wish more than any thing we could be close friends again. I want to talk to my friend about this but I don't know how to tell him?

I say give him some space and time to think about. I did the same thing, I told this girl I like my real feeling but she said she just wants to be friends. She becomes kinder to me now and I feel that she always helps me. And I will continue to wait for her, in case she change her mind.

Don't hide your feelings, before it's too late! Pick an appropriate time and asks to speak to him - tell him you treasure the friendship, would like it to be better BUT you felt that it's fading. Asks him does he felt the same (fading away and feelings for you). From the answers, you'll find the things that you need to do - that there's nothing wrong in the first place (you worry too much), maybe he wants it that way (not to be too close) or maybe he was not his usual self of late (something's bothering him etc). Good luck.

Ask him if he has that same feeling. A woman's idea of intimacy is communication and exchange of ideas. A male's concept of intimacy is usually sexually related. In other words, chances are he is clueless and you need to point him in the right direction. If you are good friends and nothing else, it could be that he has developed deeper feelings for you and has no clue on how to approach the subject. If he fears it could damage the relationship, he will chose his word more carefully and even avoid any topic that could be used to bring up the subject. This will make him appear more distant even though he may want to be closer. It could mean that he finally realizes how much you mean to him, He may feel the risk of saying something stupid an losing you is greater than waiting for a sign that might indicate that his hopes and dreams will not be crushed if he brings up the topic.

Why not suggest a nice lunch or dinner that the two of you can spend alone and tell him how you are feeling. Don't go overboard or start crying but try to explain to him that you are feeling like the two of you are drifting apart and that it scares you to think that you may lose your best friend.

you're best friends,so just be honest.he'll understand.maybe he's feeling it too and isn't sure how to approach the subject.on the other hand he may have no idea which is why it's important to tell him how you feel if you want to save your friendship.
just explain that you feel your friendship slipping and you value the friendship too much to let it go

from a guys perspective, Its hard to have a real strong "friendship" with a woman because of two things; One we really want to be more than friends and it's way to frustrating when you don't, or two our gf/wife keeps seeing you as the "other woman" and makes our life hell for even mentioning your name.

I like the response that Mr. Asker gives. He seems to have a very caring heart.

I would think that it should work to say to him just what you've said in your question.
