This will repair the damage for you and then you can just walk away. , For example; If you are both walking home together and you are alone.
Do not ask her in front of her friends as this could influence her decision.
Picking the right place and time is crucial.
Make sure that she is in a good mood too, or she may be more inclined to reject you. , For example; You could say "I wish you were my girlfriend" or "I want to go out with you." This will brace her for what you are about to ask, otherwise she may think it's a joke and not take you seriously. , Say "Will you go out with me?" or "Will you be my girlfriend" and smile while you wait for a response.
If she seems to be taking ages to decide, then you could suggest that she meets you somewhere the next day once she has decided. , If she says yes, then just casually be positive; don't overdo it, but show that you're happy to be going out with her.
Then you could say something like "See you later" and walk away to prevent a feeling of awkwardness.
Although if she says no, don't get embarrassed or show weakness.
Nobody can blame you for asking and if she is mean to you, then you deserve better anyway.
Just smile, look calm and say "Alright, you can't blame a guy for trying!" and walk away. , No doesn't necessarily mean no forever, but you don't want to overwhelm her.
