I'm going to ask one of my friends out (she's a girl), and if she rejects me, I still want to be friends, any tips on doing so?

This happened to me and i asked them out and they didnt want to go out with me so i just asked if we could still be friends and it turned out okay so you could just ask and see what happens but if you have the feeling there going to say no then dont. Good luck =]

Ask her if she likes you like that, and if she does then ask her out, If she doesn't tell her how you feel, but tell her that you don't want to ruin your friendship if the feelings aren't mutual, if she ruins it then she mustn't be a very good friend.

Stand up and be confident. She thinks she may know you but she is totally wrong. If she thinks you're trying to be those romantic"I LOVE YOU"guys then say"NO! its not a"Romantic Date"but a date to know you more. They'll have weird thoughts running in their mind, but have courage (girls love guys with confidence and patience). Good Luck and STAND TALL!BUT if you want to take it slowly say,"Hey I'm going to the movies this _____ (week?) and I want someone to come with me. And maybe after we can get some dinner/grub! So what do you think? You want to go? WE CAN WATCH ANYTHING YOU WANT or... WE CAN GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO EAT! (ONE IMPORTANT FACTOR: It's good submitting yourself to her BUT don't let her take advantage of it sometimes you gotta let her know that there's a line of limitation...)
