Boy trouble! I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE! D:?

okay so i like this guy "Jacob", but my 2 of my friends like him also. and they told me before i could tell them so they have dibs on him. (neither of them know that one of them likes him, i only know). okay, so i like him and he likes me. we flirt and all, but i feel so bad, and what if he asks me? i really like him... but i dont want to be a bad friend or let a boy come between our friendship....
