I back off.
I have personally backed off a girl because I knew a buddy was into her, but he did not ask me to - if he had, I probably would have resisted and said let the best man win and whatnot, but really there's just too many options to get all competitive about one girl - in the case above I ended up meeting the girl's sister, everybody's happy - I mean my buddy and the girl had zero chemistry so I don't think he ended up happy
it would be her choice if at all.
