text: Tell your friend, in a 'very' friendly way, and manner,..calm.. (like she's dying and you really care about her)... and say;  "you know.. I am like, your best friend, and I'd pretty much help you out any way that I could... but girlfriend, it hurts me to see you going after that guy I like, like that.  Do you want him?  I'll back off, if that is what it takes, but girlfriend... the 'male' species should NEVER come between, 'US.'  Don't you think?"\n\n*just an opinion*
