Helping out Someone you Like

[Smilez]

I like one of my good friends and lately ive noticed that he's not acting like himself. I know that he's stressed out with things (most likely his previous ex who hes now together with and shes prob messing with his feelings). Im good friends with him but not good enough to be like i know somethings wrong and u can tell me about it. How do I go about getting to that level? I know that itll make us closer but i also dont want him to be all sad and stuff. So does anyone have any suggestions?

just tell him he seems really sad lately, and it makes you feel bad, and that you guys may not be close but you dont mind if he tells you whats bothering him cause you like to know you helped.
something around those lines
