I used to like my very best guy friend. And he liked me. We never ended up dating though. Best friends that you kinda sort like are the oddest. First things first though, limit flirting as much as possible! If she is already having guy trouble, she doesn't need any more confusion, you don't have to stop completely, because that would be obvious and she will think something is up with you, and that's not really what you are going for. Buy her something nice for her birthday, but don't do anything with her for actual Valentine's Day. (If that makes any sense at all.) Make sure it is obvious that you are celebrating her birthday instead. Try the friends with benefits thing for a while, yeah it might get messy, but...you have to try something, something that you both can agree to. Talk to her about her asshole boyfriend and how you hate seeing him hurt her constantly. Bottom line? Talk with her, sort things out. Be honest. That's the best advice I can give.
