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

# Background:
I'm a [17M] in junior year of high school. I've never been good at socializing and making friends. I tend to miss a lot of social cues and a lot of nonverbal communication. I take a long time to make friends (usually more than 18 months), and I've got 2 people I consider to be friends right now. I've had crushes before, but I've never been in a relationship.

# Story:
I've currently got a developing friendship with a [17F]. I enjoy her company, and it feels like I've started to develop feelings for her (not really sexual, but they are definitely there). Not in a particularly strong way. I think I'd like to ask her out. I'm unsure if she would like to go out with me, but she has sought out conversations with me, even when she's clearly seen that her usual group of friends is nearby.

I'm unsure what I should do, as I really don't want to blow a chance for a friendship. I'd love to go out with her, but I'd be perfectly fine if she said no. What matters most to me is that she is a friend. I'd really like someone else to share my thoughts with and be close to. 

Please share your thoughts.
Thanks for your consideration.
