I'm in love with my straight friend.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum section. I'm 17, male and bisexual (I think). I've been out since February, and I told my best friends first, who were all girls. After, I told my guy friend, who I had been mildly attracted to. I hoped that coming out would put some distance between us so that I could get over the feelings for him. But, he was supportive and just too nice! Since then, feelings have intensified ridiculously. I got depressed over him, and its given me other problems like ADHD perhaps and OCD. My grades slipped because all I would is cry at home and not study. I just adore him. When he came to my sleepover with friends, I spent most of the night just watching him asleep next to me (and he was in his underwear which was worse!). He's got a nice body but its personality I love. He's a bit flirty, and tries to act macho at times, but is sensitive and passionate and I can really connect with him. He says I'm like family to him, and while these compliments are nice, it's making me love him even more. My main issue is tackling this unrequited love. One day, I get up and tell myself I'm going to get over him as soon as possible, deleting his number, not texting him etc. Then, I feel like I'm going to loose him if I try to get over him, and I want to stay in love but cannot ignore that I might not be his boyfriend. He says he is straight, has a long relationship with my best friend, but does ask me lots of questions about being bisexual and wonders if he could ever have a relationship with a guy. However, we are good friends but I want to be a best friend to him, even if I cannot be his boyfriend, we have so much in common and I want to become better friends with him. He is also my only guy friend, which is stupid I know, but I do feel for him sometimes like a brother I never had and I don't want to lose it. Luckily, summer is here and so it gives the opportunity to make or break our relationship. I've thought of 4 scenarios. 1) invite him over to my house, spend the night together (as in playing video games and just chilling). This would be like the final event before I distance myself from him, but I get to have a true one-to-one time with him before our relationship cools down. If I feel confident I may tell him my feelings then and how I want to get over it but needs his help. 2) cut off contact for 60 days and see how I feel after. I will try my hardest to do this, but have failed before. Nevertheless, I have found distance does help. The 60 days is also what many therapists recommend apparently. But I may lose him as a friend. 3) stay friends with him, keep spending time with him, and hope it fades when we go to separate colleges in summer. This is the easiest for me, and I think college will help but im not sure. 4) tell him everything and see what he's wants to do about it. Which option is best in your opinion? im welcome to other suggestions. and im sorry this is reallly lame for some people. Thanks for any help
