Hello everyone.

I am a college student and i really like this girl in my class. Problem is my friend also likes her. He told me that he likes her but at the moment i was too scared to tell him that i also like her. I am thinking of asking her out but i am afraid that i might ruin our friendship.

What should i do? Should i tell him that i like her and then go on about asking her out, or should i stay out of it?
