Hi there - that is a tough one.
It is hard for guys and girls to start a friendship in this kind of way - most guy friends I have came from part time jobs when I was at school or after school activities or college etc.
I think that perhaps you should organise a group thing again with the mutual friends - something really casual and talk to her there. That will give you a chance to get to know her but its not really like a date.
I know its hard but I think you should pursue the friendship through the mutual friends but keep it in mind that she may be looking for more and be sensitive to that - don't say or do things which lead her on (too much touching etc).
If she ever approaches you for more, tell her the truth and help her feel comfortable and that you are flattered but not interested in anything more than friendship.
Its a tough line to walk but as long as you remain sensitive to her hopes, you should be right.
I figure, the friendship is worth a go.
