damn dude, I don't know what to tell you, it's a tough position to be in, I'd say go for it, but it can make things extremely awkward if she says no, the problem I always had when I was single was I'd get to know them first before making any kind of move, and by the time I had developed feelings (more than initial hormones) I was always seen as more of a brother/best friend figure, and couldn't ever get away from that image, and despite my desire to stay close friends we always (without exception) drifted apart... go for it if you think you've got a shot, if you're really not sure how she thinks of you (as "just a friend" or possibly more) then I would let sleeping dogs lie, and dream fondly of what might have been, rather than face the depression resulting from rejection...
