I was in a pretty similar situation to you not so long ago. Have you two ever talked about it? And by getting together, what do you mean exactly? i think you should talk to her about all of this...but if that's too hard, just write her a letter, telling her how you feel but saying that if she doesn't feel the same etc it won't affect your friendship, you'll be fine with it. Obviously, you won't be but...make her feel like it's her decision. And i think, the whole two best friend thing...it would be weird for them at first, but that's to be expected. They'd get used to it, and it wouldn't be a big deal to them in the end. And i don't think your being unrealistic at all...just, please do go for it, because you won't ever know what could have happened if you'd have just said...
