Should I ask her on a date?

Me and her have been best friend for almost 6 years now.

We always talk, hangout on gaming, etc.

We have been living apart for 14 hours, we slowly started to talk about meeting each other in real life recently on places.

We shared and have been talking mutual feelings of how much we are grateful to have met each other and been staying close ever since.

I slowly starting to have feeling for her, but I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do of asking her if she want to hangout first before dating or what?

I’m gonna need help
