I suppose there is the chance that while you just want to be friends, she could be feeling what a lot of the replies here are referring to. Instead of you wanting more, maybe she does and that is why she agreed to go. I know you said she has a boyfriend, but she may interested to see if there is still a spark there, so you may want to prepare for that. Just make sure you are sure of yourself going into it and try to convey the reasons for the meeting clearly.

I don't mean come out and say that this meeting is just as friends right away since that would be weird and ruin the whole thing. However, there are plenty of ways of letting people know your intentions without being so up front (body language, how you look at her, don't ask a bunch of questions about her bf, etc.).

Anyway, that's my advice. However, this is just one case. She might have the exact same mindset as you on this and only be looking for friendship and then that should become obvious quickly and I would suspect there would be no awkwardness at all.

Let us know how it goes.
