Correction, it called natural survival instinct.
If you love a gal, naturally you will know what to do from your present situation, as for friend, sooner or later he will know your intention, better made it clear now than later being call a friend betrayer.
And if you really love a gal, even if she decided not to be with you, you must also wish her all the best, pain as it shall be, as it is a basic instinct of part and parcel in life that we should take it with pride.
