what does it mean if a guy picked me over his gf but were just friends?

Hey yall! Im new here and am needing some sound advice from ppl I don't know. Basically I have a best friend who is male. Like most platonic relationships ours is murky. I say that bc at times I feel like we have both liked each other as more than friends but neither of us ever do anything abt it. So he had this pretty serious girlfriend who I was also friends with. The closeness of my friendship with him caused a rift between me and the girl and him and the girl. I think she thought by trying to push me out off the picture and have issues would me would get him to focus all his attention on her. That did not work. They have since broken up. He never stopped hanging out with me when his gf basically gave the ultimatum of her or me. They didn't break up solely for that reason but I know I was a part of it. What should I do? We are like I said best friends. We have a great time together and hang out a lot. I think somethimes he realizes I may have more than friend feelings bc I got pissed off when I thought he was hooking up w one of my friends. I don't like when that happens I prefer for ppl to find their own mates and not cause unnecessary drama btw friends. Well that girl was trying to hang around him for a minute but as soon as I got pissed he literally has not hung out or spoken w her since. Lol so its just crazy that I can get mad voice a concern and its stopped right then but his serious ex gf tried kind of the same thing and it didn't work. Blah blah blah I'm confused and just don't know if I should tell him I like him bc I know it would prob ruin our friendship and I know he isn't boyfriend material.I have set myself up for a major fail. Questions, comments whatever are welcome.
