So there's this girl, we've been friends for a while, and i recently found out she likes me, so I kind of want to ask her out, but i don't know if there's any future with this relationship if it turns to being more than friends . I just don't know what to do

Communication is the most important thing to ANY relationship. Be brave man, if she says yes, that's awesome; if not, you'll be uncomfortable for a while, but if you talk to her about it, saying "hey, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable by asking you, can we still be friends?" she'll probably be as relieved as you to "go back to normal."

A similar situation happened to me this year, and it took a while after we broke up to be able to comfortably hang out again (not to mention it took a lot of effort on both sides to keep our friendship strong), but I would say if you work at maintaining a friendship post-relationship, it'll be worth it.

So ask her, man. It's infinitely better to be upfront and honest w people about your feelings than to hold them in, not say anything, and wonder/wish about what could or might have been. Good luck!

^^^Stole the words right out of my mouth!
As Faolan said, communication is super important!
Just be honest, and speak what is on your mind, ask her out, tell her how you feel. Honesty is a beautiful thing and something people really appreciate. Maybe it doesn't work out: Hey-Ho. You tell her how you feel, you communicate and understand each other better, and things are resolved. Just be yourself, and be honest, and let life take you wherever it does.
When you find someone who loves you exactly for who you are when you are honest, that is when you they're a keeper.
Good luck.

^Not to mention your courage and bravery will be sooo appreciated/admired. Honestly I'm going through a similar thing right now w my crush and I'm terrified of telling him how I feel, but you never know what could end up happening. Speaking up and taking risks is how you get places in life – being successful isn't easy but it's through situations like this you can be.

Go for it and ask her, if you are good friends she will either say the Dreaded phrase "I like you as a brother/ friend" or if you have a sound friendship and have been together for a while you might be in as a soul mate but take it slow.
