Here's one for you. My mother had a best friend since childhood, even went to college together. Her friend met a guy she dated and such for a bit. Things just didn't jive so it ended and so my mom started dating this guy. This "guy" ended up being my dad and my mother and her friend remained best friends regardless.

Guess they don't all go bad. A lot depends on the maturity of everyone involved and if the feelings between you and this girl are genuine or merely infatuation. Take it slow but who knows, might work.
