I am deeply in love with an aro/ace woman who happens to be one

Either stop thinking about her romanticly and simply platonic. Or stop cowering from your wants and desires. Go after the things you want in life or die with regret.

What? Stop being a special snowflake and ask her out if you like her.

You could just be honest and tell her how you feel. Don't make a big issue of it - keep it simple, concise, and matter of fact. Tell her that you care and that you want to be open with her, but that your friendship matters more to you and that you're not asking her for anything beyond what's already been established. It's important that she knows you aren't pressuring her for more than she can give. But it also leaves her open to discussing possibilities if she's even remotely interested!

The key thing here is that you need to be able to tell her all of that and mean it. If she doesn't want to get more involved, then you need to be able to take it with grace and carry on as before without any hard feelings. Most women prefer honesty even if the topic is hard to take. So long as the discussion is rational and calm a lot can get dealt with to the betterment of all.

Protip - if you decide to go for it, then ask her to go out for a walk with you in the evening or something. It's surprisingly easier to discuss awkward things while in a neutral setting, without spectators, being able to move and focus on something other than looking straight at the other person.
