Someone answered with kindness...
Confess and talk maturely... Been through the same phase just few months back, though not my first and only female friend. Better is to talk maturely, you both are working adults, quite sensible for such talks, if it goes well, let me know... If it doesn't go well, then also let me know

I know there is a possibility of friendship collapsing, but it is better to tell her what you're feeling in the way you want. If you keep delaying, things may not be the same again. Trust me , if you both are good friends, a rejection will not turn you into strangers. Sure the friendship will not remain the same but it is better to tell her upfront and hope she feels the same rather than waiting,
