Is it dumb to ask a friend out?

im thinking about to ask a friend out. Im just not sure if i should. I met her with a group of friends and we text alot but she lives in the next city so we dont see us really often. Our group always tried to couple us together but since were mostly texting and we saw us each other 4-5 times we ignored that. Im just not sure to ask her out because firstly she never really showed intention besides of texting alot and that doesnt mean shit secondly she asks me about other guys and thirdly she likes to overinterpret things . I dont care about a rejection im cool with that and sadly i would ask her over text cause the next meeting would take some time. Thing is i like her and shes kinda cute. I wouldnt have a problem to friendzone her like she´s maybe doing but im thinking to shoot my shot. Lowkey selfexplanatory i know
