Tell her how you feel, but don't be all "I'm madly in love with you."
Summer before last I'd spent a LOT of time with a girl that I'd hardly known before. It started as hanging out with mutual friends, and eventually turned into going to get coffee and talking for 3-4 hours afterwards. She was in a relationship with someone else at the time, but neither of them were at all invested in it anymore. Her friends were all telling her to break up with her boyfriend, and all of my friends were telling me to break them up.
One day I realized that I was happy spending time with her, and even though I was trying, I just wasn't interested in any other girls. So after that realization I drove ~4 hours to buy a book and wrote a note in the front of it. The note said something along the lines of 'I'm not going to tell you what to do, but whatever you decide to do I'll support you.'
She broke up with her boyfriend the next week. A month after that we had a conversation that consisted of "We are incredible friends, but is it worth it to try and see if there is something more?" 3 weeks from today we're getting married. It was worth it.
If you really care for this person, and you think that she cares for you, tell her you think it's worth the risk and ask her on a date. If it doesn't work out, then you won't have to wonder years from now why you didn't take the chance. If it does work out, then you don't have anything to worry about :)

This is a little picture book that I got my wife the first or second year we were dating. It's cute and cheap and says a lot, in my opinion.
