As other people here have said: any time you open yourself up to a friend like that, there is a chance of getting hurt, and there is a chance of ruining the friendship. It happened to me once. We became friends again afterwards but it took time, and was never quite the same. That was sad. However, I have another friend who liked a close friend of his (they even hooked up a few times), but he backed away from starting a relationship because he didn't want to ruin the friendship. Well, now she's moved on, and their friendship is non-existent anyway.
The bottom line is that if you're really feeling these things, I think it's best to take the chance. It seems like she's interested in knowing. Keep us updated.
