GIRLS: Does she now like me? Please help!?

[a.f306]

It sounds like she really likes you and wants to let you know.
there are different reasons as to why she may have said no the first time e.g. doesn't want to ruin your friendship, doesn't know how to tell her parents or maybe she just didn't want to take your friendship to the next level.
i don't know how long its been since you first asked her out but she might have just needed time to think and to me its sounds like shes thought about it and now wants to go out with you!
i think you should either ask her friends what they think or just ask her out - you have nothing to loose if you stayed friends the last time
