Girl problems

So I’ve been chatting to this girl for a while as friends but we really get along and now I feel like something has clicked for me like i catch myself smiling when im texting her and all that weird goofy shit lol. Thing is tho she has done shit with two of my friends and my friend group (my whole year group actually) basically knows her as a hoe and considering what shes done with boys it pains me to say they aint wrong. A small part of me is saying fuck what they think and the rational part is saying I’m just gonna fuck myself over if I do this... so any advice?
