My best friend likes me and I don't. What can I do?

He never told me that he likes me, but it's so obvious.
It has been like eight years since the last time I had a boyfriend, and now the only person who likes me is my friend. I can't picture myself kissing him, holding his hand, I can't. He has always been my help, my confident, but I don't love him as something else.
I'm 24, no boyfriend, almost no dates, nothing.. I'm just waiting for the right person, but it seems like I always attract the wrong one.
I don't always like the most popular, the hottest, the smarter.. I don't usually like those kind of guys, but I don't like the guys I attract.
Am I too picky? It is right what I'm doing? It is right to wait until I'm sure the guy I have in front of me is THE GUY?

It is right what you're doing. Don't settle for less when it comes to the person you should become intimate with. You'd be sorry later.

I rejected at least three guys this way and it's never pleasant but if you can't picture yourself kissing them there's a big chance you would feel very unhappy about yourself if you allowed them to do it. You shouldn't give him false hope as well.
