I would tell her(in person!) and say that you realize this isn't the best timing, but you want to get your feelings out there. I'd give her space since she has been avoiding you. Tell her that you love being friends so much, that you think you could be more. Tell her what you like about her and why you think she could be the love of your life, "the one", your soulmate-whatever you want to call it. Tell her you respect whatever she wants to do with that info and would love to continue being friends. Check in with her about 2-3 days after so she doesn't feel neglected and she knows your committed. Don't leave her hanging with all those emotions. Be respectful if she doesn't choose you, and still make an effort to be friends. Be prepared for her descision. I know I would want to know-just wait a week or two(or until she stops avoiding) so she doesn't feel awkward. She knows you like her,so tell her.
