well you see.. when ever you're "out" with a person of the opposite gender it's a date.
and dates can be with friends or even family members. the media now adays put into your heads that dates are only between girlfriends and boyfriends and that alone is wrong.
when you feel comfortable telling her about your feelings, about how you feel towards her, then tell her. as a friend, she should understand how you feel.
this of course is just MY opinion
hope this helps
