Cause its not a game or a toy, and i am saying this with all do respect, because if you go out with her once, and then see that she makes a better friend that a date and things don't work out, and then you would feel ackward later on, and then everything would change in your friendship cause you dated and you saw each other in a different way, and then things wouldn't be the same, and you'd lose each other as both friends and lovers. And i'm sure you've heard of these things happening before. So ONLY if you really do love her, and have strong feelings for her, and it shouldn't only be about being really curious to experience a date with her, you should really be inlove with her, and have true feelings for her to make this right and to make things work out.
And hey, do you know if she has ANY kind of feelings for you that way? has she ever dropped hints?
So just make sure of your feelings and if you're ready to get involved in a relationship and if she's the one you want to be with, and be with in this way, your date, not your friend for years.

If she doesn't seem to have feelings for you in that kind of way, don't be too hard on yourself. It won't ruin your friendship unless you both make it awkward.
