<human>: So I've known this friend since 2009 in high school. She was a very shy person and I was her first guy friend. I've always found her cute and all but i never asked her out. Years later she tells me that use to like me but that was in the past. She had a bf for like 3 years. During that time, we would chat and try to hangout. Her bf didn't like that and she was not allowed to talk to me or hangout. This happen several times until recently we reconnected and decided to hangout our college. The years have been kind to her. She has bloomed into a beautiful woman and her smile is intoxicating. We caught up yesterday and found out she has been single for a couple of months. Part of me was upset for her but another part me was happy because she's single now. More into talking she tells me she tried tinder for the heck of it with her sister. She immediately started getting matches and messages and some she has met and gone a few dates with. She tells me she has been happier than she has ever been. She told me she's on the prowl and enjoying the dating life. Idk why, but after we departed and said our goodbyes, i couldnt stop thinking about her. Part of me wants to ask her out. I've always wanted to before but she had a bf. Now idk if i should go for it. We are close friends and she use to like me before. But that doesnt mean she likes me now. Idk how to start off with showing her im interested.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: summary: I liked this girl for awhile, she liked me in the past. She had a bf for 3 years. Her and I are both single now. Should i do it?
