For the last two weeks I was learning bartending, and for the whole time I was trying to ask a girl there for a coffee date. We had small talks in and out of class, and yesterday I suggested to her and her friend to have some food after class, but the friend had to go to his college class and she was not hungry ....
As you may have guessed, every time when I talked to her, I would stop short of, "Would you like to have a coffee together?" I thought that, on one hand, since she was never really interested I should not punish myself for something of which I have no control, but on the other hand, I was not able to ask her out because I do not ask girls out often enough -- have not gotten enough "practice".
The class is now over, but any one interested are welcomed to go back and practice more. She may go back, and I may go -- if I have time -- because the instructor offered to teach me more techniques. (Yup, bartending is a craft and I am becoming pretty good at it!) So there is a small chance that I will see her again. None the less, although I am disappointed, I will take this as a learning experience and move on.

I thought you dropped the bartending classes?
Either way, I really think you need to grow a set and just ask her out.
A friend encouraged me to try it, and when I told another woman in the class that I do not always feel comfortable in nightlife, she said that I have the personality to do it. On the other hand, the instructor said that I fit the SoHo scene .... I am going to start small and move up.
I said that the girl was not interested because she never initiated conversations with me or tried to make eye contact, but you are right that either way I need to grow a set.
