Ladies, whats the easiest or best way to tell a girl you like her?

Theres a girl im sorta friends with, i like her but im not sure how she feels about me. It would feel awkward for me to just go up to her and say "hey Kimberly, i like you" especially if she entertains no such notions regarding me. So, whats an easy way to sorta allude to it when im speaking to her without having to say anything awkward or uncomfortable? thanx
