<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

As you have probably guessed, I need advice. First, the low down:
I'm a female. I have a close (male) friend who I see 4-5 days a week when catching the bus. I'm interested at making something happen, but I haven't known him for so long and I'm quite shy. 

An extremely close, you could say best, friend of mine also wants him. She has a better chance than me because of her looks but I haven't given up yet. My main problem is this person is moving away from here, quite far away.

I will probably not see him for a while, but I do have a phone number and might occasionally see him when visiting a family member. I need to know from someone with experience how to make this happen with nothing but a phone number.
<bot>: (Come on, it's not that long!): I need to ask someone before it's too late, how do I go about it?
