If you're male, let your girlfriend know you are having deeper feelings for her than just friend adn ask if she feels the same, if not. ..don't press her. Thats a nice way to ask and she should not ve offended. But it might be uncomfortable for her to stay knowing this so she may move on and just part on good terms.
If I am correct and you are female, has your best friend given any signs that she might have gay or bi-sexual leanings? Does her gaze follow other women a lot? Has she said any sexual type comments about other women? This could be quite a shock to her if she's not wired that way. There's nothing wrong with you. I have had females attracted to me and asking me if I was bi and I said I was not but thanked them for the compliment of finding me that attractive. What you might do is not ask for sex but just tell her that you have been feeling bi-sexual urges for women or a particular woman. And you wonder if that would make her think any less of you as her friend. Get her talking presumably over some other ficticous woman. Ask her if she has ever felt that way about another female. If she has, then come right out and admit your feelings.
If not, and she says she's still be your friend if you were bi with some other girl, then best not to ask if you don't want to lose her friendship. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
