To ask out again, or leave it?

    I was out the other night with work, and there's a girl I find attractive in our group. I kind of know her, but wouldn't have called us "friends". Wary of the "friendzone" thing, I asked her out on the night. I thought there was a bit of chemistry there, but when I asked her out, she said no, as she prefers us to be friends.

    Thing is, we had been drinking, and I would really like to go out with her (on a date, take it from there kinda thing) So, what's the best way to ask her out without making things awkward between us (if she says no again?)

    A problem I have, is not high standards, I just rarely find girls attractive, not that I'm gay, just had a broken heart which took a while to get over. So the fact I asked a girl out on it's own is strangely reassuring for me. But I really would like to get to know this girl better.

    So you asked her out, and she said no. And now you're gonna go and ask her again???

    You asked her out. Which in and of itself is something to be proud of.
    Fair play. It takes guts.

    However you got shot down. It happens.

    If she wants to go out with you then the ball is in her court and she should come back and ask you out.

    If you ask her out again you'll just look desperate, obessive and host of other things which will make the situation more arkward.
