So I've been coworkers and friends with this guy for about 9 months now. We work at a camp so we live, eat, and work very close together. We started hanging out on weekends, like catching a movie, going to swing dance lessons, having talks in the office about everything under the sun, and I realized after a couple months that I was starting to develop feelings for him.
I am not the sort of person to be blunt and go for something, especially when it runs the risk of workplace drama or anything like that. But camp ends in 2 weeks and I will be moving on to a new job. And every time I think about how I won't see him at work every day, or we won't hang out and watch movies or talk on the weekends, there's a part of my stomach that drops. So I want to tell him before we part ways.

He is an incredibly kind, outgoing, good hearted guy. I know he would be respectful and honest in the conversation, and he would be honest with me about his thoughts. I'm pretty sure he's going to say that he just wants to be friends, but I feel like I need to stop hiding this and pretending I don't care for him, and just get it off my chest. And also for that 1% chance he feels the same way...

I've asked two close trusted friends for advice, and they have basically said it is a good idea to have a conversation about this, but also don't invest too much or overwhelm him. They both have no idea how he feels about me, since he is such an extrovert and loves to be close and personable with just about everyone. I simply want to let him know how I'm feeling, say I'm happy to remain friends or whatever he wants, and then continue on with the last week of work. Without freaking out and dying.
Any advice or words I should say, how I should start the conversation, etc. would be appreciated. I'm so crazy nervous, but I think it is something that will be really good for me.

Want to tell my coworker I have romantic feelings for him, but don't want to pressure him because we will not see each other for 1 week.

I feel the exact same way about this guy and don't want to lie about it. How should I start the conversation and what should be said?
