Need your help! Does she like me?

[DanielW.]

I just got out of a long relationship. 1 1/2 years with a girl i thought loved me. As it turned out she obviously didn't since she cheated on me twice. I at first thought I never would move on but that was until I met this girl at my work. She is really cool and I enjoy talking with her and hanging out with her. I would go out of my way to talk to her and she would always welcome me with a smile and genuinely seemed to be happy to see me. Everything was going good for me and I was happy again. She made me smile and I made her smile. She also said she was sad when I wasn't at work and she was. Then I got framed for stealing, fired and banned from the store. I risked getting arrested to come see her yesterday and we hung out in my car for fifteen minutes. She hugged me twice in the space of five minutes and I think she likes me. I said that we should hang out sometime and she instantly said "for sure"

The day I was framed, I went in there to see her with my friend. After I got framed and told her she hugged me and didn't push my hand away when I let it linger on her hip for several seconds. I reluctantly removed my hand because I had to leave the store then. She seemed sad to see me go and after I was driving my friend home when I asked him if he thought she likes me. He said that in his opinion she definately likes me and that we sort of just clicked.

I sent her a message on facebook when I got home saying that when she was free we should hang out maybe go see a movie. I was in a sense asking her out but I am not sure she would take it in that way.

So I guess my question is should I make it clear I am asking her out on a date or see if she takes it that way. I do not want to do anything to jeaprodize our friendship but I haven't felt this way for a girl in over two years. I am scared of getting hurt and am also scared of losing her as a friend. But I am very attracted to her.

Your help would be much appreciated and I look forward to your replies.

Well personally(im 16) but i think you shouldn't mention dating yet, take her to the movies a few times, get a coffee, hang at her/your apartment, see if she makes her move, if not, take the plunge and try your luck, if you think its the right time go for it, if you think its not the right time, then wait a little bit longer.
