you both are best friends, so honesty is the best solution. being shy is very normal, especially, with your inner feelings.
i would think that 'at home with a movie' would be an excellent approach. you both will feel safe and be a lone.
how close you sit next to her will give you and her both an idea of how close you both want to get.
all of us ladies love the shoulder massage. it helps us relax. just try a little touch and rub. if she's comfortable with you touching her, then keep it up.
start up a small converse with her. gently express that you enjoy her friendship, and imply your emotions through your touch.
if she pulls away, let her. but... i bet she'll be right there enjoying your loving touch.
you will know if she's into you by this time. if she hasn't pulled away, touch her face and give her a smile. if this works out, go in for a small and shy kiss.
this is how i fell in love with my fiance. we started out as friends. he would religously come over and watch anime with me every night.
after about a month, he started with a shoulder rub. he never said anything to me during this, but when i went to get up and go to bed, i kissed him.
from then on... well it's been a long time since then, but we are still together...
try it...
good luck
