Are me and my best friend in the exploring stage of our relationship?

Some people have told me they think me I'm in the exploring stage right now with my best friend. To make a long story short. Me and her met a year back, she is a very shy girl so it took time but we became good friends. We were always there for each other to discuss our problems. Roll around until March where a guy friend of hers who was a player tried to end my friendship with her by telling her I liked her as more. He almost succeeded until she realized he was a jerk who was just jealous of the bond me and her had. She told me she was so sorry for almost ruining our friendship and told me she didn't know what she would do without me in her life. From then on we spent almost every night talking to each other late at night. That is when I really started to feel a bf/gf kind of bond with her. However there is a distance. A guy that lives closer to her started to like her and she started to like him, also there is this girl I recently met that I'm just getting to know, who is a very great girl and would make an awesome girlfriend. However I can't stop thinking about my best friend. I really want her and not anyone else but I'm not sure if it's the time yet to tell her. So do you think we are in the exploring stage? We are both still young. I know me and my best friend would make a great couple.
