Compliments will get you lots of answers!
Okay, firstly, how does your friend feel about you, has she given any indication that she likes you more than a friend? Hugs are a way to show affection to friends, and she obviously is an affectionate person, but since she hugs 'everyone' and not just you, I'd read into this that she likes you as a friend.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't give dating a try, but I'm saying if you do ask her out and she says no, you might lose your friendship anyway out of awkwardness!
If she says yes, and you go out, it could be wonderful or it could go badly, and if it does, your friendship will never be the same again. What you have to ask yourself is, ultimately, are you willing to risk your friendship on something that might not work? If she's a good a friend as you say, I'm guessing you'll say it isn't worth risking it.
I think you need to talk to her about it. Mentioning that you've been thinking about asking her out won't hurt your friendship as you aren't committing to anything, you're just asking her opinion.
Good luck!
