From reading your question, you sound like a much better candidate for a girlfriend than your friend-(some) guys come to recognize this as they get older, and those than don't are the lightweights that you shouldn't bother with. Your crush sounds more sensible:his behaviour is however not acceptable, as it not only could drive a wedge between you and your friend, but also leaves you unsure and perhaps feeling inadequate, in the shadow of your friend and her beauty. Tell him that he has to make a definite choice between the two of you-if he likes her, let him ask her back out, if you, then go for it and nevermind her. Ultimatuming him may seem harsh, but he musn't get away with umming and aahing and stringing you along.
There is however a disadvantage to the procedure which I have just outlined: what if he indeed chooses you over her, and she gets mad? If he was anyone but an ex of hers, I would say that all's fair in love and war-the rules for exes are however a little different. I would still say though that if she's a real friend of yours, she would be happy. Talk to her first, and see what gives.
