I am in a similar situation to you, except i would be "the long-time friend". I think before you decide if you are going to wait or be a prick and try to steal her away, talk to the guy. If he is a long time friend of yours (hell even if you have fallen out of touch due to his relationship or what have you), then he should at least deserve to know how you are feeling, hell if he is anything like me, he might even understand. If you are really lucky he might even back down if he thinks that yes, you have liked her for a long time, and she obviously likes you as well, maybe I am the one ruining everything for all parties involved (heart breaking as this might be). In any case, don't be so back alley, behind peoples backs about the problem at hand, you'd be surprised what in your faceness can accomplish. Hell, talk to him as soon as you are done reading this (or the next time he is on msn/aim what have you)
