Ask her out for coffee or something else that involves some face time, but nothing hugely romantic or elaborate. What's the worst that can happen? She might say 'no'. You'll feel bad about it for awhile, and then move on. But if you want to ask her out, and don't, you'll have regret.
Also, punch your do-gooder friend in the face.
'ready for this stuff' could mean a lot of things - it probably either meant 'not interested' or 'woah, that's coming on a little to heavy'. If it's either of those, there's nothing you can do to turn it around. She'll either turn you down flat-out, or accept out of pity or whatever and you'll have a really awkward time. It could also mean 'not right right now', in which case, things might work out.
Also, I don't totally get this 'friend/lover' dichotomy that a lot of people have going on - if I'm interested in someone 'that way', I want to get to know them first. But, as evidenced above, a lot of people seem to instinctively feel that it's wrong to try to make friends with someone and hope that maybe it'll turn into something else. I don't really agree, but I could be crazy.
