Yes, you should say something. Tell him you feel his friend is more his GF than you are. Watch carefully for how he responds to this. Sorry, but I don't believe men and women can be 'just friends', not the way you are describing. Its possible he's got a thing for her and she isn't going there. I know that's what you fear, but you can't let that fear keep you from facing what may be the truth:
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
