Female born on 3rd Sept 1977, never married and want to know what are my chances and compatibility?

My close friend is born on 6th Dec 1985. He's 8 years younger. We have been close friends for 3-4 years, hanging out often. I only started liking him for the past 1 year but have been afraid to say anything. I don't know if he likes me mutually. We enjoy each other's company and I think if we are together it can work out but we are both not great communicators so I get confused by whether he likes me or not. What are my chances with my buddy in 2016?
