<human>: 24 year old male who is majorly stuck in the friendzone with my 22 year old female coworker and good friend. Let me say that this girl is my absolute perfection. She is beautiful and poised, classy and well-spoken. She's incredibly intelligent, one of the smartest women I have ever met, and in general my overall dream girl.
We work about 8 hours a day together in close quarters and spend a good amount of time outside of work together, going out to drinks with the other coworkers, she comes to my intramural soccer games, we go on nightly walks to the dog park. She's been a support to me and has made  me less shy and a better man. We have a fantastic friendship. She's a dear friend but I like her a lot and I'm tired of just being friends. She's kept the boundaries pretty clear but there is definitely mutual chemistry that I want to explore. The problem here is that we spend so much time together and have an intimate enough friendship, if I just straight up asked her out I think she'd be creeped out by it and would probably feel like I'm taking advantage of our friendship to get into her pants. I genuinely like spending time with her and in no way am I just trying to get my dick wet or am I looking for some sort of quick relationship. I need a way to transition from the intimate friendship we have to situation where I can ask her out without her feeling like I violated our friendship or am using it to catapult myself out of the friendzone. Also, our company does not have a policy against dating other employees.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: I want to be able to ask out my best friend without her feeling like I'm using our friendship to get in her pants.
