<human>: So this all started five months ago when my best friend decided to try setting me up with a girl that he knew.  We started talking and then ground out that not only did we have a lot in common we really liked each other too.  But my friend constantly told me how he controls this girls life, how she doesn't do anything without him knowing of it, which kinda started to concern me a bit. But he's my best friend so I shouldn't have to worry about it right? Well one day we were hanging out with one of our other friends who actually told him to lay off of me with that whole "I control her" thing.  And he said, "I can screw things up for him so fast it's not even funny."  That night she friendzoned me and told me that my friend told her he was in to her.  The next week I had lunch with her and we realized that he had been lying to both of us, she had no clue that he had been telling me all these things about him controlling her and such and it just became a shitfest and I haven't talked to him since that day.  Needless to say I never felt closer to that girl than that day, and on the way home she said "I never would have done this to you if I would have known all this about him."  And since then we've gradually gotten even closer.  But then a few weeks back she lost an uncle and got all emotional, she just stopped talking to me for a few days and I found out she went back to talking to my friend, and now it's almost as if all of that didn't happen. I'm still talking to her, and we have hung out a few times since then.  I really want to be with this girl no matter how much pain it's put me in, I don't think I'll ever be able to accept my best friend back, as much as I want to, if he ends up with her, and all he does is cause her pain.  I'm hanging out with her today and I'm thinking about asking her out, I have no clue how to do this or if this is even a good idea.  Some one help?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
