Girls! Need advice about getting denied?

[Devan Green]

-Had 3 classes with this girl, I didn't notice her a first but after awhile I became extremely attracted to her.
-Talked a little, knew who each other was
-Friend tells her I think she's cute (without my knowledge, he's just that kind of kid that thinks it would be funny).
-She goes out of her way to smile at me at the gym and say hi.
-She waits for me to finish talking to my friends after class one day.

-I am really nervous, don't say anything, just smile at her, decide to message her on Facebook.
-Get a reply 3 days later, have a small conversation. Facebook chat isn't going well though
-work up courage to ask out on an ice skating date, wait a week, no reply yet
-two days left, message her to follow up, she says she's been busy so she can't go on the date
-"maybe another time" is what I say (but with some obvious disappointment)

I still like her but it causes me so much stress knowing it's for nothing, how do I get past this? Losing these feelings is tough.

Get her number.
Ask if she would ever want to go on a date sometime. If she says yes ask her to give you a date, right there and then.

As far as letting her go... look at other options. Realize she has flaws and they might not match up with what is best for you. If she doesn't like you then she obviously wants something different than you and what you want so be optimistic. There will be someone better! You'll be happy. Just enjoy life now, there is more than relationships and girls to life.
