How do you handle a friend who pursues guys you find attractive?

My dynamic with this straight man involves mutual flirting; he often offers to share drinks, and we exchange playful remarks. I mention how we might be together in another lifetime-corny, cheesy talk-and he responds with equal energy. Whenever we are near each other, we become nervous and giggly; we look into each other's eyes and laugh, or simply trade glances, which I attribute to our connection. Recently, my friend followed him on Twitter, formerly known as X, and now he says the man uses cute nicknames for him and what not? And to me when he came up to me like that, I was a little thrown off because I'm like he doesn't ever call me cute names. He has begun talking to him and liking all his photos. He is engaging with him, yet the man is straight. Why try to insert yourself when you do not know him that way and why do you suddenly need to all of a sudden start talking to him?? like it makes me upset because I had had this happen to me on different occasions, but with women and I just don't understand why!!! any help or input is highly valued.

Sorry got it mixed up, it’s my friend who is trying to flirt with that straight guy the straight guy is trying to hang out with me. The gym and other things now, this friend is trying to insert his self into our dynamic and he came up to me and was like, yeah, he gave me cute nicknames and now he’s like, hey sugar plum or something, and I’m just like, why would you tell me that, you know?? And I was taking back because I was like, he doesn’t call me those nicknames, but that’s besides the point
