I believe it's right to respect someone's space when it comes to that kind of situation. You are in good terms with her as a friend so do what you need to do as role of being a good friend for her. I think that when you do she will realize that there is someone like you who actually cares deeply about her.
I think what you need to do is respect her space and do what you gotta do as a friend. If she gets hurt, that's where you come in. =)
