<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

So, I have been friends with a girl since elementary school and have had off and on feelings for her but I never made a move (mostly because I changed schools, but then she ended up transferring to my school). Anyway, we are always great together and have a lot of fun together and we have a lot of the same interests. The only problem is that we have the all the same friends and I feel as though it might get awkward. To add to the awkwardness, she is also my best friends ex-girlfriend (I knew, I was fine with it, didn't have feelings at the time). But, he has since moved out of state. Should I attempt to go towards a relationship with this girl? Should I ask friend if its alright? I don't want to ruin things with either of them. Help me please. Thank you.
