You'll never know unless you take the risk. If it turns out they're not interested in that way, be up front about it and tell them that you're still willing to be there for them. Who knows, eventually things might change. What would you rather happen? A moment of discomfort or a lifetime of wondering, "what if...?"
Hopefully things will work out in your favor. Nice guys don't always finish last, you know.
