Your next conversation with her should go like this....

You: Hey, what's up?
Tease: Nuthin, what's up with you?
You: Have you talked to Ray? (inserted for unnamed friend)
Tease: No, but he texted me. Have you?
You: Yea, I think that he's at the clinic, getting more cream for some rash or whatever he keeps getting "down there." (laughing)
Tease: Ewwww....you busy tonight?

I would make your move before your friend, however it is her choice and unlike in the movies a lot of real world situations I have came across a girl if she knows both like her will actually choose neither and go out with someone completely new. Or she may just play into the competition too depending on the girl...you know how some of them like playing games.

Ahh, I'm going to go against the grain here and recommend stepping aside if it looks like they're supposed to be together. There are other women in the world.

Other than that, I'd suggest settling it the way true gentleman have settled differences throughout the ages: A hotdog eating contest.

Probably introduce the topic of age into a discussion where age is totally irrelevant.

Wait, aren't we more interested in her doing that?

I was in this situation years ago with a friend (and bass player in our band). We both dug this chick, but he went all out, probably would've run me over if I'd gotten in the way. They've been married for about 15 years and have 2 kids. We're still good friends, and his wife finds the whole story highly amusing.

As others have said, if you're serious about this girl, then nothing should get in your way. If she's just a girl you both of you think is "cute", then who cares? If you really have a thing for this girl, then you wouldn't even be asking this question - you'd step on your friend's corpse just to be near her.

It's not like someone going after someone elses wife or long term girlfriend . . .
Spot on!

we discussed this, in a way, in one of my education classes at college. Competition is perfectly healthy, no need to always tip-toe around each other.

Be the alpha-chimp, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

I'm with Munji on this, except tap all of her friends too. Even if it's just for good measure.
