Although I must say, my last giurlfriend was a friend for years before we went out, then we dated for 4.5 years. Then I decided to move to China like the dumbass I am.
To a certain extent you might have to wait a little while, keep in contact with her.
If you want to steal her, so be it and try right away. Or wait and tell her once she's broken up with him.although the longer you hang around, the harder it will be for you to do so.
