I think you're at some point where it really depends on what YOU want. If you want to be with her, then I'd say go for it in the next few days, don't wait for weeks or she'll find someone else to rebound and you'll feel stupid/sorry/neglected/whatever.
If you just want to stay friends, then you need to tell her so. It's kinda hard to be subtle in those cases, so just try to make her understand you really like her but simply as a friend. Tell this in a place where you can escape easily (e.g. restaurant, etc...). This will be awkward but you'll be glad you have done it (and if she's not stupid, she will be thankful in the end).
Whatever you choose, as almost everyone told you before, be honest and kind. The only way she would hate you would be if you lie or be very blunt and gross.
Good luck anyway
