First of all, I would like to point out that most of the time, if you have a crush on a girl, and you are close as friends, the girl can usually tell. I hate all those shows where the friend has a crush on the other friend, only the other friend doesn't know it. No. Not true. It is usually pretty easy to tell when someone likes you. Or maybe it is just me.
That being said, she may already know. That is why I always advise the not beating around the bush technique. Just be blunt and tell her the truth. Lets say that she does know you like her. Okay, if she likes you back, she will have to wait FOREVER for you to act on it, and it will get annoying. If she does not return the feelings, it will just be a long period of akwardness that might hurt the friendship. If she doesn't know, then chances are the answer would be the same whether you asked her tomorrow, or three months from now. If she feels no romantic connection for you, chances are that won't change.
Now, when you throw the mother into the picture, that just really depends on how she is handling it. If she is mopey and depressed, then asking her may seem a bad time for her. It really just depends on how things are going for her.
But I still go with being blunt and getting all your feelings out there. Girls don't like to be played games with the same as guys. Besides, you might as well know now- if she likes you, it saves you wasted time. If not, it saves you from getting your hopes up.
