I'm assuming you are younger (going to a dance), and life and people change as they get older, but as someone in their 20's this is my advice:
My life motto is I'd rather regret the things I have DONE than the things I HAVEN'T. That being said, you still want to be compassionate toward your friend.
My advice: Talk to your friend! Let her know that you and this boy both like each other and that you really care about your friend and want to know how she feels about this and what you can do to make things good. Let her know that your seeing a boy will not detract from your friendship with her. She may be sad, angry or jealous, and let her know that you hear her, understand her, and that it's ok to feel that way. But it's also ok for you to live your life and be with who you want to be with.
Make sure that you still spend quality time with your friend. The worst feeling may be that she feels like she will lose you to him. Just make sure that you maintain a balance and foster both relationships. Enjoy! (Post back and us know how it goes!)
