I like a girl but she likes my best friend. Should I tell her how I feel? Is this a lost cause? How do I deal with this?

I am friends with this girl from college. I've had a huge crush on her for several months and it just got stronger and stronger, to the point where I am basically in love with her.

A couple of months ago I found out she likes my best friend. I didn't see any such thing from his side at that time, but soon after that, I began observing some chemistry between them.

I freaked out. I decided to talk to my best friend about it. I told him about my feelings for her and then asked him what's exactly going on between them and what he feels about her. He told me they're just friends but there's potential for more, but he was vague about how exactly he feels about her. And as time passed I began observing more developments between them.

I then talked to two of our mutual friends (both girls) and they both suggested that I should move on. I know that is the best thing to do. But it's easier said than done.

The current situation is that they might start dating any time now, if they aren't already. And as much as I try to be happy for them, I will be heartbroken myself.

I don't know what to do. I know this is probably a lost cause, but should I at least tell her how I feel? I know it probably won't change anything, but I feel like she should know how I feel about her.

I found out they've been dating already. I don't know how to feel about this, how to react, how to act with them. They're my friends and I want to be happy for them, but seeing them together hurts too much.
