All is fair in love and war. He has the right to express his love to the girl. However, it would be better if he talks to the other guy first so that their friendship can be preserved.

If he thinks expressing his love would ruin the friendship with the other guy and with the girl, then he mustn't do it.

He must be careful in making his decision. There might be some from the group who will not like it if he decides to tell the girl about his feelings. Then there's the issue between him and the other guy, and between him and the girl. A lot of friendships may have to be sacrificed for the love of the girl. And he must be prepared to accept rejection from the girl too. Should this happen, I hope he would be man enough to remain friends with her.

Things may get complicated if he does. If he's prepared for this, he may try to win the girl. But he must be sure that he is ready to sacrifice his friendship with the other guy and with girl girl, should she not return his feelings.

It's up to him to know what he's willing to risk. But I think he should just wait for the next girl he'll like. He must do what he can to get over her.

Well if he doesn't want to tell her he will loose her, the other guy will devance him and he'll suffer... And there is no reason to keep his feelings as secret! he has to tell her, he mustn't be shine... For every girls that he will be in love in his life he'll keep it for him as secret too??? Now its up to him!

He should express his love...she will say if she just want to be friend with him or if she wants something more, but there is only 2answers and after that he will feel better and he will know if he had to forget her or not...

I think your friend has more to lose if he says nothing. Keeping your love quiet for the sake of others and their happiness is really a noble act but no one asked your friend to become a hero...or a martyr...even if he is able to do that he's the one who will be suffering in silence and later he might start to hate himself or even his friends for taking such a decision...I'm pretty sure he'll become distant anyway. The other guy didn't exactly put a wedding ring on her finger so she's still available...if she does love the other guy and tell your friend that, then at least he'll know what he's left to do... but waiting in silence until someone else to come in his life or simply for those two to break up so he can have his chance is not a solution, it's just nourishing false hopes that'll only harm him more laterIs that your definition of a man?Someone who finds excuses and lies to himself and hides his true feelings behind the word friendship? What has he done wrong? Falling for a girl is not a crime...Ashley is right, life is not easy, love and relationships are even harder, so your friend has to learn one day or the other...

Well you never know what surprises life's got for us...It's true that your friend should not keep his love a secret, because he doesn't know what the girl's gonna decide..it's she who has the final say, isn't it?? Well I strongly agree he should at least tell the girl..all is fair in love..and let her decide what to do..If her feelings are not returned she could stay friends with him and he, in turn will still have his friends..But in another case, things can get well between them and am sure the friends wouldn't mind..
