Just looking for advice on how to proceed with this. Usually I would let him have her and move on to find another, but this girl is a solid 8 and he doesn’t really have much of a chance, considering he’s about a 5. I definitely have a better shot at it since I’m seen as more popular and good looking.

He doesn’t seem realize that her opening up to him (she’s naturally pretty shy) is more friendzoning then romantic interest.

Is there anyway I could convey this to him and still not seem like an ass by going for this girl? Or would it be better to just move on?
