I like her, she likes him. What to do?
I told this woman I had feelings for her, but she has liked my best friend since grade school. But he doesn't like her. What can I do?
Forget about it OR get drunk together and let Mr. Jack Daniels work his magic

There's not much you can do. You've said how you feel, she said how she feels. So you're out in the open. If she doesn't know that your friend isn't into her, she needs to hear that (in order to get over him....and onto you). That said, you shouldn't be the one to tell her, 'cause that just looks desperate.
Next step is to spend time with her, and get her to like you. Hang out a lot, flirt, whatever you do to get girls into you - do this.
Or, you could tell him, and get him to help you out by being a complete dick to her, and once she's hurt enough you're there to pick up the pieces. A bit dirtier, but definitely effective.
Good luck.
For now, stick with "moving on" as your game plan.
And because you're asking a bunch of strangers on the internet as to what you should do:
Go out and buy yourself a couple books (and read them)
1) The Game by Neil Strauss
2) The Mystery Method by Mystery
The purpose of reading these books is to change the way you think. Reprogram yourself to think a certain (healthier) way.
After reading these two books you should have a better idea of what YOU WANT to do and ultimately not have to ask a bunch of strangers on the internet as to what you "should" do.
Another great set of books (and ones that aren't quite as sleazy as I and some other perceive Mystery to be) are the "Modern ..." series:
These books direct one to studdy the bit more refined way, more like the Clooney/Draper vein of gentleman, but one who lives in the 21st century.
Study these some, and you shouldn't have to worry about a girl who likes someone else.
You've made your case to her. If she's not into you, there's nothing to be done short of stalking. Time to move on.

Improve yourself. Either she will wise up, or a better woman will take notice. Either way you end up better off than when you started.
Move on.
