I agree with Robii and PDM. Examine your heart. Do you want to be a friend to her? Do you like her? The question of whether there is or is not a romantic attraction from her to you is not the main issue. If you like her, maybe your friendship with her will help you resolve any possible question you have in your mind as to whether you can square your religious convictions with your heart's feelings.
There is a freedom in learning that friendship can transcend race, gender, sexual orientation, and much more. For that matter, Jesus had no problem with being friends with people who did not fit a mold set by others.
