<human>: well a while ago my friend introduced me to this one girl, and we immediately clicked. we have tons in common and she's the closest friend i've ever had. all our friends say we should be together, and she wants to be with me a lot, but i dont really have teh need or want to have a girlfriend and haven't for a while because i went out with this girlw ho i thought i was in love with but wasn't, so i'm not sure how love should feel. but anyway, what i'm asking is if i should ask out my friend. simple enough. should i ask her out?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
