Should I tell him how I feel? Is this worth pursuing?

I recently moved from the U.S. to Australia to pursue my postgrad studies. I left behind an ex-boyfriend who I still felt very strongly for but he did not have the same desire to get back together. So off I went. Shortly after arriving here I met this guy (we'll call him Antonio) who I became friends with. I was immediately attracted to him but I was not sure if he was gay as well because my gaydar is occasionally thrown off when meeting Europeans (he is Italian). A month and a half later, we are very good friends and hang out very often. We share deep, intimate conversations and laugh a lot. But nothing physical has happened and feelings have not been explicitly expressed. But there have been signs: we take turns paying for each other, he invited me to eat dinner and watch a movie at his apartment, we spent the whole day at the beach together and he asked someone to take a picture of us in front of a rainbow that appeared after a storm. What straight person does that?! Does this mean that he likes me? I have fallen for Antonio. He makes me happy. I am not sure what to do about this. The hook is that his project is over and he is leaving to go back to Italy in 2 and a half weeks. Is it worth telling him how I feel now?

1. May be you are another project..........talk to him.
2. i would say yes because if you dont you are always going to wonder what if you did tell him
3. tell him. if he doesn't feel that way then it better than being completely shot down later
4. why don't u try it? what is there to lose? if it's meant to be or if something is meant to happen distance wont be a problem... good luck =)
5. Never live with regrets. Just tell him. In years from now you would regret not telling him and it will eat away at you like a cancer. Think of 'future you' and what you think is best for you. Love sucks sometimes. Goodluck little lady.
