Aksing a girl out for the second time, should i do it?

[Sliant]

Ok, i want to start out by saying that i am 23 years old right now and still have not had a girlfriend, I have asked girls out before and I have been on a date... well i thought it was one.... Anyway there is this girl at where i work and i tried as much as i could to talk to her when i could and when I thought that she might like me back I built up the courage and asked her out. Her response was something like this "oh your great but i just broke up with my boyfriend" and i replied something like "oh that's cool im just glad you didn't freak out", now the reason i said freak out was because she is 4 years younger then myself and i was taken back and scared anyway whatever. So for the rest of that day i kind of avoided her and stuff she was probably the same. This was like maybe 4 to 5 months ago now i think. Since then we have been talking to each other all the time she would ask me questions and i would ask her some and always try to make her laugh (for some reason Im fixated on thinking that making a girl laugh will make her like you more, not sure if this is true). Everyone at my work seems to think that i flirt with her all the time one even thought that we were going out. Friends of mine at work think i should ask her out again but I'm not sure if i could handle another no. I would be afraid if she said no things would get awkward and I would hate to lose what friendship we already have, but then again if she said yes i would be over the ****ING MOON, i would probably die a happy man right there lol.... Now i ask her all the time about what she has been doing and about her day and she never mentions a boyfriend, which is really annoying because ive asked sly questions before to other girls and it always works, so im pretty sure she hasn't gotten back with her old boyfriend. Then again she could just be avoiding telling me about him because of some reason i don't really know. I had my birthday a couple months back and she was asking how old i was and i told her and she said i was ancient, i kind of took it seriously and thought oh okay she thinks im too old for her and that was that. But then a month back she was talking to another guy who was older then me and said he was still young and i butted in reminding her of what she said of me jokingly of course, and she said she was being sarcastic, i don't know if that means anything it probably doesn't. I have recently, i think caught her looking at me when my back is turned but that could just be me being hopeful lol. I really am stuck here im not sure if i should ask this girl out again or not, I need advice, please if you need more info on this to help make a decision please ask. Thanks.

No guts, no glory, my friend. I tell myself that all the time, and I should really use my own advice.
