This isn’t anybody’s fault — your best friend has a crush on your girlfriend. This probably happens more often than not. And since he’s newly broken up with his girlfriend, he’s feeling vulnerable, and your girlfriend is “safe” because she’s taken. When he starts dating someone else, he’ll leave the two of you alone more.
For now, my advice is to find your sense of humor about your best friend’s advances and use that sense of humor to make a joke out of the whole thing and bring it to the surface with him. I think it’s bothering you that you haven’t discussed this with him. Humor helps bridge that gap between anxiety and silence. It really sounds like you trust your girlfriend and that she’s not interested in your best friend. It also sounds like she has no problem saying no and using her boundaries with him. She may even feel sorry for him.
While it’s understandable that you’re surprised at his behavior, don’t make this into something it’s not. 😉
