What to do when you and your friend like the same guy?

Anonymous
Okay so I recently met this guy. I had heard of him before but we'd never officially met and now that we have, we really seemed to hit it off. I knew I was into him and one of my friend thought he was into me too.

Only problem is apparently another one of my friends is already into him. Now I'm not that close with this girl but I know if I ever start dating this guy she'd be pissed and so would our other friends.

I honestly don't know what to do. It's not my fault if he likes me more than her, and it's not her's either. I would feel terrible if I stole him from her but it's been so long since I last dated someone it seems so hard to pass it up. Besides, doesn't the guy get a say in this?

I just don't have anyone to confide in. All my friends know she's into him and if I said anything they'd freak. I think I'm just going to slowly become better friends with him and see where it goes? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
