I think you're answering yourself. You just said it "we both realized that we STILL LIKE..." in present sense. Haven't you asked yourself that maybe he's wondering the same? I think you aren't confused, you're scared of definitely loosing him. My advice is to hear what you already know. He wants to be with you. And he doesn't say to you (for fear maybe as well), ask him. Wonder is worst. Don't wait for a "happy ever after" and go for it!
