I asked this girl that I liked in my class out for coffee and she turned me down. I met her back in August and we became rather fast friends. Over time, I began to have feelings for her and decided to take a chance. Apparently, she'd already been seeing someone for a couple of months. She didn't seem to think any less of me for it but I haven't spoken to her since Wednesday. Honestly, I thought the best thing to do would have been to give her some space after asking her something like that. I was polite and smiled when she rejected my offer. Told her that there was nothing to apologize for and understood. She was obviously trying to let me down gently seeing as how well we act towards one another. Wanted to make it as least awkward as possible in return for that. Seemed to have worked. However, I don't know how to approach her now. I'm definitely seeing her again next Monday but I have no clue what to say. That was the first time I even asked a girl out like that. This is just uncharted territory for me in general.
