I think this kind of problem existed well before some self-justifying psych grad decided to make a label for it. "Stage 3 limerance"?? LOL, labels don't solve problems, they overcomplicate what is a simple and timeless problem. "Fear" (and the hormones that go with it) is the biological driver for all this kind of behaviour. The OP is afraid to deal with her feelings and move forward.
OP, you just need to suck it up and ask him about his feelings and tell him about yours. You keep saying you are good friends. If this is true, then asking him directly shouldn't be a problem, whatever the result. You won't die from asking, so just get it done already.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
