I've had a crush on him for over a year.

It's been over a year, and I still have feelings for one of my friends.

I've known this guy, he's 2 years younger than me. We met in March of 2015, he was a Freshman and I was a Junior in high school. When we first met, I thought he was really attractive. However, it wasn't until a few months later that I actually began developing feelings for him. It all began when we were hanging out in a group setting, around 12 people sitting around a large table. He was sitting across from me, but the table was huge so he came around to my side to say something to someone who was sitting two seats from me, in doing so, he put his hand on the back of the chair next to mine for support, where my hand was resting. His hand was on top of mine and he didn't move it. I thought it was weird so I began slowly pulling it from under his, but even then he wouldn't move his! Finally, he began walking back to his original seat and in doing so, he smirked at me. I guess this was the spark that ignited the flame inside my heart.

It's now been a year and 4 months since that happened and my feelings are getting more and more intense with every time we meet. So much so, that I'm beginning to get depressed. I feel like he has feelings for me two because he's done little things like the one I mentioned before in the course of this year and 4 months. For example, just THIS afternoon, we had lunch in a group at a Wendy's fastfood restaurant and he sat across from me in the booth. When he sat down, he put his foot right on top of mine and just left it there for the whole time we ate. He would softly push down every now and then as if he wanted me to reply in some way, I tried moving my toes and looking at him, but I guess it didn't work.

Sometimes I'm so sure that he has feelings for me, but he's kind of a stereotypical straight boy and he talks about girls... a lot. I'm just so confused. Not to mention that I'm a mess; I have pretty bad acne, which has completely drained of any self esteem I had so my heart says that I should take action, but my mind tells me that I'm too ugly, that nobody likes someone with pimples all over their face. I just want this to be over, I'm tired of spending my days and nights pondering whether he likes me or not.

So finally, does anybody have any advice on what I should do? Should I take action and tell him how I feel? Should I just turn the other way and try to get over this by myself? NOTE: HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT I'M GAY.
