I’m in love with a really close friend, I think she feels the same way, what do I do?

A little background, it’s kind of a strange situation, we have been friends for 2.5 years and in an organization where members are not allowed to date each other. We text each other constantly when we’re at home, and hangout a lot when we are near each other. I don’t know what to do. She texted me at like midnight the other day and told me that she broke up with her boyfriend. She sends me multiple Snapchats a day, and texts me all the time.
On the others hand she is naturally very flirty person, and I don’t want to jump the gun, but I really do think she’s into me
The last time a group of us went out to drink, we got really drunk and she kissed and hugged me a lot, but she was hugging everybody, and kissed some other guys, she is really flirty when she’s drunk

Okay this might sound comical but I'm being completely serious. You are probably already in the friend zone based on how much she Snapchats you. Your only chance is making a bold move. If you can somehow get her to have dinner with you alone without giving away your intentions that would be ideal. If you can arrange it and she figures out it's more than just dinner that's acceptable. During dinner make lots of eye contact. After dinner if it is at a restaurant as you are leaving (and I'm being serious) sweep her off her feet and kiss her. If you don't think you can manage that maneuver without tripping or dropping her just without warning wrap your hand around her waist and pull her in close and kiss her. There won't be any ambiguity about the sort of relationship you want to have with her and girls love confident bold moves. It just might be enough to break you out of the friend zone. If the dinner is at your place then do the sweeping maneuver or the waist wrap as you appear to be walking her to the door.

@Davidarendale0 just one more thing it's important she think the date is going to end with no escalation of contact before you pull the maneuver. This will catch her off guard and be emotionally drawing which is what you want because it sounds like her emotions for you now are platonic. Good luck
