Girrrrrl Troubleeee?

Ok soo i like this guy and during class today we were talking and he really likes this other girl... a few months back my friend liked the same guy and he liked the same girl, but that girl told my friend that she didn't like him. Today, he was almost begging for the girl to tell him who she likes and wanted to ask her out. ANother friend told the guy to ask her out by the pencil sharpener so it wasnt awkward (she doesnt know that i like him). At that point i was almost in tears. Is he worth it? He's not dating this girl, he talks to me everyday, and i have his number.... help.
