if you like to end a friendship, then go for it but most of your life, you'll need them in a time so think about what you're doing. is's best to get as many useful friends as you can handle. they might be useful in a point in time. btw I've had that problem too.
Neither of you should date that guy because it would end up ruining your friendship if one of you gets him and the other one doesn't
if you're best friends then maybe to save your friendship you should talk to her and neither of you should try and get the guy to like you.
In my opinion, you shouldn't. I think it will ruin your friendship. So i think you should go on a few dates first but don't call them dates. If he does like you he should have the courage to say it himself.
If your relationship feels more like a friendship then the chemistry for romance is absent and you should let the young man know how you feel.
what you should do is figure out who like him first...if she did than you need to think about if he is worth enough to risk your friendship with her over it. from personally experience the guy is never worth it and i have lost countless great friends because of some guy that we have both liked. now i know that no guy is worth loosing that friendship...but like i said that is up to you to decide.
you should ask him
say something like "yo yo yo dog, you should like go out with me(me lol memes) but i don't want to ruin our friendship or anything" and then he will say "nice meme!"
Start a friendship...
you have to choose whats more important this guy or the chance of losing or friendship?
If you think telling your guy friend that you like him more than a friend will ruin the friendship, takes things slow and try to feel out how he feels about you as time passes.
Personally i would be super angry. But i would tell her that i liked him or for the sake of our friendship i would like someone else.
For the sake of your friendship, steer clear of the guy. Make sure you don't play any games, like subtlety flirting with him or trying to get his attention. A good friendship has a better chance of lasting than a romantic relationship. One day, this guy will be out of the picture, but if you remain loyal to your friend, the friendship could last for decades.
