Feels right but turns out wrong.

I'm 17-18 and I feel life is puking on my shoes when it comes to chances with girls. Do you know the way certain things just 'feel' right? I do my best to listen to my instincts, especially about relationships. Problem is, on one occasion it just ended quickly and badly, on other three - they belonged to someone else.
There's this 16 year-old girl who goes to the same school as I do and we've been talking pretty often, at first at school and then also on IM. I get along pretty well with both her and her best female friend, who I think is interested in me.. not very sure in what way, but it doesn't concern me much. We went out and played pool a few times, mostly as a group thing.
I first got this feeling back in June, when I was pretty sure she was single. She went away for the whole summer, so I assume that's when things changed. She's been pretty warm to me, compliments, smiles, eye contact, laughter, hugs and the likes. Although without evidence, thoughts of her not being single crossed my mind as a possibility, but I just said to myself I'd see what happens.
There was supposed to be this improvised cinema kind of event at my school yesterday and she asked me to come. It got canceled, and when we talked that afternoon on IM, I told her I would've let her know had I had her number. So she gave me her number and I told her I wouldn't have an excuse from that point onward. She jokingly said 'she heard it'd be another one' the following day and asked me if I knew what to do.. I thought she wanted me to ask her out or something.
I tried to ask her out today and confessed I'd really like to get to know her better, but she said she had a boyfriend. I was like 'hmm, okay then..'. She had a sort of 'that was cute' reaction, but I still have yet to see her in person. I'll see how things are on Monday.
I'm not too affected by this.. it's just that I really thought we'd look good together.
I think I'm about to have another 'don't-give-a-shit-grow-a-beard' moment...

I get a lot of compliments on my looks, personality.. generally the way I am, and the way people act around me makes me feel likable. This isn't the first time, and my lack of luck with girls is annoying the crap out of me.

sorry man that sucks. I guess just keep it up. If you are as good lookin as you say you are you shouldn't have any trouble trying again. gotta take it slow!!!

Now mind you, I'm not fallen from heaven either. It's just frustrating to see so many people hooking up around you, while you're feeling like you've been cursed.

yeah I hear you man. the grass is always greener though, you know? You just gotta keep it up and eventually something will come your way. Weather its now, 2 moths, a year, etc. There are billions of people in this world... Im sure one of them will be attracted to you ;-)

Seems to me that her behaviour was wrong as she seemed to leading you on. But try not to worry. I've had times in my life when I thought there must be something wrong with me. Just get out there and be happy in your own skin. I'm an old fart who lives in the middle of nowhere and I seem to have no trouble meeting women so just get out there and good luck.
