She ended that relationship about six months ago, and it just seems like we keep getting closer. Knowing her the way I do now, I would definitely be interested in having an romantically intimate connection with her. Normally, I do not hesitate to act in these situations but for some reason I get real nervous thinking about it, probably because I really do value my friendship with her. I worry about the repercussions it will have on our friendship should it not go well, but at the same time I don't want to go on thinking what if. Any suggestions or similar experiences?

Have you two ever had that discussion "Imagine if we started dating..." or something like that? Has she ever acted like she's interested in you as anthing more than a friend since she ended her last relationship?
Maybe you can just try to feel it out in conversation before you say anything concrete, just to see where she is in her thoughts...it could be that she's having the same thoughts as you.
You never know unless you try, but to Lee's point, you don't want to mess up your friendship, so if you do go into this situation, make sure you go carefully and treat her like a lady.
