<human>: So I met this girl at my school about a year ago. My first impressions of her was wow she's really pretty but i never had the intention of looking for a relationship back then. We really started talking since we both do the same school activities and now I'd say we are really good friends, as scary as that sounds. We got to know each other, and we casually text and snap chat, and we've been hanging out a lot too, just the two of us.

She took me to her Junior Prom as a friend (I guess?) a while back and after that we've been hanging out, watching movies and going to the city occasionally. Whenever we sit next to each other or walk side by side we tend to playfully "bump" into each other and when she gets tired she would link arms with me or rest her head on my shoulder. I'd say these physical notions suggest that she's interested in me, but I wouldn't know otherwise because I've never asked her. I've given her notions that I like her but I don't know if she ever picked up on that. 

 Now that I've gotten to know her some more, I'm beginning to fall for her more and more and the thought of us being together makes me joyous but I don't know if she feels the same about me. Whenever we're out hanging out we always seem to have a great time and we laugh together. My friends and her friends always tease us and encourage us to become bf/gf and we're always shipped together as couples (even though we're not). If someone saw us together they wouldn't know better and mistake us as couples. But whenever her friends tease us she just calls them assholes and doesn't respond to it. I was planning on asking her to be my girlfriend pretty soon but I don't know if she likes me in that way or sees me just as another good friend. Do i risk our friendship for a relationship or just leave it be where it is now?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: I want to ask this girl i like to be my gf but I don't know if I'm in the friend zone or if i should just go for it.
