Tell him, upfront no holds barred, that you like him and you think you're a better match for him than this girl.
A lot of the time, when guys go after other girls it's because they just don't understand that you like them. Do NOT try to be subtle here. [ pseudophun's advice column | Ask pseudophun A Question ]

This means if you don't let someone know what's up, how you feel, what you want or where you are going with something, they will never know, only you will know which produces no result.By all means: please always communicate what you are feeling. Flirting is nothing, everyone flirts in some way - what does it mean? Check this out,don't give assumptions, or implications. Say it, straight up.
something like this: Hey, I am feeling you. I like you for more than a friend. I have liked you for 4 months but didn't want to come out and tell you because I didn't realize the extent of it until you started liking Jane. (I don't know her name so I am calling her Jane). I am not trying to come in between you and her, but honestly, I do want you to know how I feel about you and I am asking that you think about it and get back with me in a couple of days or so (give him some time), don't pressure him. He will come to you. If he tells you he likes you too -let him know that he must make a decision as he can't have both of you. If it's you, then go for it, if it's not you, respect it and learn from it. The lesson to be learned is what I said in the beginning of my answer.
Don't think of how can I get him to ditch her. Think of what I have to offer him, how can I make him happy, how do I tell him of my interest in him and where do we go from him. It's about you, not her. you feel me?
