If your friend is understanding and you're willing to risk that, just come clean. Ask her if she'd mind if anything happened between you and the guy. and actually listen to what she has to say. You can't blame her if she's not too keen on the idea, but if you get round to dating this guy, let your friend know you'll always be there for her and nothing will change that, and you won't drift apart because you're seeing a guy - as that's what most friends worry about.

Too bad you can;t show her. But, both would hurt her a little.
