		 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.
