Should I Tell My Friend?

Hi Everyone,
You probably guessed this from my title: my friend's new boyfriend hit on me, and I'm not sure what to do. They've been dating for about 2 months. Christy is being cautious, but lately she's been telling her friends that Jay is great, and everything's going really well, and she has high hopes for their future together. Well, tonight I met them both at a dinner party with some other friends, and Jay started rubbing his (shoeless) foot up and down my leg under the table. Then when we were all saying goodnight he hugged me and didn't let go when he should have.
I want: a) to keep my friendship with Christy exactly as wonderful as it is, and b) to warn her that Jay is a jerk. Should I tell her, before she gets her heart broken? Or keep quiet? What do y'all think?
Thanks for reading this. :)

Though I've been burned by this in the past, I still think you should tell her. And tell her straight-up. Yes, you may lose a friendship over it and it may become awkward. But I think at the end of the day, the truth needs to be told.
Let us know what you decide to do.

I agree that the truth needs to be told, but the question is how?
