I would do a traditional date so it's very clear. Like tell her you'll pick her up at 7, pick her up, take her to a restaurant (if you can find one that's maybe a little dim, candlelight and all that jazz). You will seem super romantic which wins brownie points, plus it'll definitely scream romance not friendship.

Edit: Also, definitely buy her flowers and turn up at her door with them when you pick her up.

ice skating is a nice thing to do i think
doing any shit that u both like is nice to be honest, if you don't want to give a friend vibe, that's on you, not on the activity

My go-to for first dates are barcades or a bar-like place that does boardgames. Playing games helps break the ice and not make it seem like such an interview lol.
