So hello people
I met this girl out in town on Thursday. I had seen her a few times during the night and had had the biggest crush on her ever since I first saw her!!! (at that point I didn't know who she was, and that we had a mutual friend) We crossed each other's paths a few time and I'm pretty sure she had noticed me because we smiled at each other once or twice. At one point during the night I thought to myself that I had to talk to her, if not I would just regret it. So I went up to her and introduced myself. I felt like we had a great connection and chatted for around ten minutes. She was very responsive to everything I said and smiled a lot. She said that she had heard good things about me from her friend, that I was a gentleman and that she really liked that about me. She seemed ''kissable'' but I didn't want to appear as all the other guys trying to get in her pants.
Then the girl that I knew arrived and said that this was her best friend, and that she had boyfriend, apparently. The girl I liked then proceeded to say to her friend ''no stop it - shhh'' twice, and I then asked her directly, so do you have a boyfriend or not, and she said no. I then asked my friend, who told me that she indeed did, but that it was not going well between them. I resumed my conversation with the girl, and said I wanted to meet her again another time, and asked if we could exchange numbers or something. She said ''write me tomorrow'', and was like alright enjoy the rest of the evening.

So the next day (yesterday) I wrote her and here's the conversation :
Me : Hey you nice to meet you last night
Her : Yes, likewise
Me: Hungover?
Her: Yes, alot! :/
Me: Haha, then I'm not the only one :p
Her: Haha no !
Me: Hey I was supposed to go rock climbing tomorrow, but my friend just said he's sick. What about a walk in the botanical gardens, I've been wanting to go for a while - plus i'd be nice to meet you in a calm environment where one can actually hear others talk, see who you are I'm a bit direct, but not fond of getting to know someone via text. Do you have plans?
Her: It sounds super cozy! I just have work the whole weekend :/
Me: Hehe alright, enjoy the rest of the weekend then
Her: Thank you, you too
-------------------
So I'd like advice as to how to proceed from now on. I'm only writing here because I'm so into this girl and I don't want to **** up. I realize that her response counts as one rejection, and I guess it's only appropriate to ask one last time. Should I wait until Sunday/Monday evening ask her when she has time ? Or should I wait a week, or try to chat some more ? A friend of mine says I have to play these mind games about not caring too much and all, but I don't feel like it - I just want to be direct and ask her when she has time. What should I say... I don't know, help me?
I'd appreciate any input or advice :p
