<human>: Basically another one of those posts but I couldn't find my situation when i searched.

Me and my Friend like this same girl. Were pretty close but by no means best friends. I've always liked her, but he got to say he liked her to a bunch of his other friends first, and so now I feel like i can't tell him. Anyways I don't think he has a shot with the girl, and she's clearly shown that she's interested in me. What should i do? I fear that i will be known as an asshole if i ask this girl out, but i don't think he likes her that much. The thing is I've never had a girlfriend before, and she's my perfect match so i'm afraid i would regret it in the future if i didn't ask her out. I'm a senior at high school if that makes a difference. What should i do?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
