I was thinking should I ask her friends first?Like basically everyone else in this thread said, just be straightforward with her. Just saying something along the lines of "I like/have feelings for you, do you feel the same?", keep it simple, just a question. If she says yes, great! Ask her if she wants to come over or go to a movie some time. If she says no, yeah it might be a little awkward, but it's not the end of the world. Move on.
