He just happens to have a lot of close friends who are girls. The thing is, i'm getting to be quite good friends with him, and he flirts with me. I know it's harmless to him, but i'm worried that my friend will think he's attracted to me, or i'm attracted to him. Please help

And you need to be a more better friend by telling this guy, you do not appreciate his flirting behaviour because of the way it makes his girlfriend feel. Set some boundries by telling him you can still be friends with him, just nix the flirting. He sounds like he has a massive ego that needs constant feeding and he plays the flirty 'game' with others to feel good about himself. He has the problem..his gf should be upfront and tell him to stop.

Try to ignore his subtle flirting, and don't flirt back. If he crosses the line then you need to tell your friend. He may think it is harmless, but it's causing your friend some grief and I would consider that harmful to thier relationship. Has she talked with him about it?
