listen bro, first mistake NEVER ADMIT TO A GIRL YOU LIKE THAT YOU EVEN HAVE THOUGH ABOUT ANOTHER WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE. EVER EVER EVER, if a girl asks "BEYONCE IS ******* UGLY." thats the code that we men must live by. the only way now is to make it right...and its going to take some balls. either you put ur *** on the line or you go home and cry about it.

go up to her in person and bring her out of public if you can, talk to her calmly without a sense of urgency say "hey listen, i know your mad at me for what i did, and i know it was wrong im not going to make any excuses, im sorry, but the truth is that...(the pause is crutial)....i really liked you from the beginning, but i was telling myself that theres no way you liked me...so when you asked about the other girl, i just panicked, and said the exact thing i was thinking about you, i understand if you dont care, i just...needed to let you know, for myself. Then..also crutial. START WALKING AWAY, dont turn back, if she starts talking, stop and listen, if she doesnt say anything worthwile just keep walking

call her. tell her how you feel, then ask her what she thinks if she doesnt like you back leave it at that and just be friends, but if she does like you back ask her out to a movie or a nice dinner depending on how old you are though, if she says yes well then you have a date but if she says no then just try next time but dont push her into it, but remember always pay for her no matter how BROKE you are!! god luck.

just tel her you like her and you were nervous but you like her. she might think its ct you got so nervous who knows.
