Okay, here's the thing. She's been in school since 8th grade, but this is really the first year that we've started talking. We share a lot of common interests, including video games, music, anime and other stuff. The thing is, really, I want her to be much, much more than a friend to me. I've had two other crushes in my life (the first one lasted for 10 years) and I've begun to really, REALLY care about her.

Anyways, she's basically a really sweet girl, who is very smart and intellectual (see: reading/drawing above), but she also likes parties and other common stuff. She really cares about her family a lot, much more than I do, for example. 

I guess I'll cut to the chase. The truth is that I've already asked her out for a date (ice-cream, movies) and she refused. She said she had already been invited by another friend of her (that she'd known for 7 years). I later confirmed this, so I didn't really feel down on this... but did I do it too soon?

Another question is when/where do I try it again? She suffers from hypoglycemia, so she can't have these kinds of stuff that often. I'm thinking about coffee. I guess that counts as a date?

Now, to the guy. I've been hinted at (by a mutual friend) that he became her boyfriend a couple of days after their "date" (he actually invited him to the same things; ice cream and movies), but I'm not really sure. How should I proceed in this manner? Should I just stay friends with her for a while? When or how will I know if she actually has a boyfriend or not (should I ask her?)? When do I make my move? If they break up, how should I handle it?

I like this girl, she's into parties and other stuff, she's already rejected me once, no doubt about it, but

I want to ask a girl out, but she doesn't like to date. When/how should I give it a chance?
