Issue with a Friend

So I've been friends with this guy for years. I've always had a crush, but thought of him as a best friend and didn't want to ruin that. He opened up in the past about being bi, but recently has walked back on those statements saying, "I don't get that I'm not gay," and stuff like that. I found out from another friend recently that he has been saying he has always been attracted to me and doesn't know what to do about it. Should I confront him about these feelings? I have always been interested, but feared rejection. Now that I know there might be a little something there, I don't know what to do.
