<human>: I have been talking to a girl for about 6 months now and we are at the point where we hang out about every week. Up till now we have been just friends but I have noticed that I wish to date her more each time we hang out. Problem is I don't want to make her feel awkward or ruin the relationship that we have already so my question is should I come out and tell her that I like her, or is there a way for me to hint to this person my desires without making them change how they think about me. Or should I just ignore the feelings I get in my gut and keep her as just a friend. Thanks for the advice, also she is out of the state for the next 3 weeks so I won't be able to post a follow up till she gets back (would rather do it in person).

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Girl who is friend, want to tell her I like her without making it awkward if she doesn't feel the same way.
