You should like her. As the saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". You didn't think she was beautiful before because you had no feelings for her and always regarded her as a good friend. She often comes to see you, either as a good friend or like you.

Remember not to hurt girls' hearts, and don't exchange failure for success!
