How do you tell a guy you really like him when you are already friends without thing getting awkward between you?

of course if you're a guy i think it would not be as hard as it is when you're a girl but for some instances it's just a matter of handling things right .. I mean right time and at the right moment. try to atleast show interest in him . at least he would know the signs . but 9of course still save your face, never spell it to him directly. it will show .. in time.
