if you think you will get over him pretty quickly, going for him now and risking your friendship is a stupid thing to do. Friendships - espcially "bestest" ones- are for life. Think about having that versus a guy who will only last a couple weeks or months.
Also think about you BEST friend, who is OBSESSED with him. Would you really want to hurt her? If you like this guy enough to risk all of that, go for it. But if not, I'd try finding a new crush. And absolutely throw yourself into getting them together, and when they finally go out, try to be happy about it. Let the jealousy melt away. It causes bad things to happen. Those two bffs I was talking about, well, one of them got the other one to dump the guy, and it turned into a huge mess. Something to think about.
