Now I've liked him for about 2 years. He's dating someone now, a girl who I've known about the same amount of time. They're both really wonderful people and really cute together. I'm very ready to move on, I don't even see or talk to him anymore we only like each others pics on instagram, I'm barely jealous. I have this sliver of hope though that he'll like me again one day. I'm a bit old fashioned and I don't want to date anyone unless I know he's the one I would want to marry.
Call me crazy, but he's like... that one guy for me. I feel like I can't move on because he's still in the back of my mind. I've become interested in another guy but he's just... not CM
Have you ever watched FRIENDS? I'm the female version of Ross, CM is my male version of Rachel.
*end of rant*
Just a comment about something you said. I personally disagree about dating only people you might marry. Sure that may be the end goal, but I feel that dating is the way you see how you fit with someone and see if marriage could be a possibility. If you come to the conclusion that it's not, then okay, break up and start seeing other people. That happened to me. We didn't want the same things, I didn't feel we were compatible enough, and he wanted marriage while I knew I didn't want that with him. Now I'm with someone who also likes the idea of marrying me but in this case, I feel very compatible with him, communication between us is great, we care about each other immensely, and yes - I feel pretty serious about him too. Our values are more in sync and we have the same concept of right and wrong. He's a nerd and I'm weird and we feel completely comfortable with each other. :3

I agree that you should not say you love him. Love is a very strong word and may make him feel surprised or even uncomfortable. I would suggest starting with something smaller, like asking if he wants to hang out or saying you like him. I know you may feel about ready to burst with feelings but be gentle and realistic if you can; start small with him and see how it goes!
Note - just because you like someone A LOT does not necessarily mean you love them. I've always felt that people jump to 'love' a little too quickly, but perhaps that's just me. I take the word 'love' very seriously.
Also - that blue really hurts my eyes. Just a heads up, I don't even read posts in colors like that. Only read yours because the coding was wrong. For the love of Merlin please don't use colors like that if you hope to get a response.
