<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

I've been best friends with this girl for several years. Over the course of these years, she's asked me to be her boyfriend a couple of times and each time I gave her the same answer: "I don't want to be in a relationship right now." Now this statement is true. For the past several years, I've been really busy with school and work and just didn't have time for it. The thing is, even if I wasn't busy, I still wouldn't date her. I'm just not into her like that. 

Now that I'm graduating from college in a month, I think I want to get a girlfriend soon. I know for a fact that my friend still really wants to go out with me even though she hasn't asked in a year. So, my question is, do you think I should tell her that I am going to start dating soon but I don't want to date her (and if so, how do I broach the subject since she hasn't asked to date in a while). Or do you think she should just find out naturally when I do actually start dating someone else? What do you think?
<bot>: My friend has wanted to go out with me for a pretty long time. I've told I'm not looking for a relationship. Now I want a relationship but still don't want to date her.
