<human>: Okay quick background, her and i "dated"in 5th grade didn't really work out so we stayed friends. We're both freshmen this year and we've been really close for as long time (getting to know our families, going on car rides to places, gaming). Last week was homecoming and her and I went together as just friends, thing is she's grown on me alot and i wanna ask her out again.
The problem is she thinks it wouldn't work. I really wanna ask her out but not ruin the friendship, what do i do?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
