How do you ask a friend if they like you more than a friend without it feeling weird after if they say no?

I'm not sure if this friend likes me or if it's just harmless jokey flirting online, I don't think anything couldnt happen anyway even if she does as we live far apart and I know women are not one for actually putting themselves out there often.

And I don't put myself out there often because I'm fat and not that attractive and when I have its not gone well, so anything would be great, be serious and don't make fun please
