A bit of background: 21 years old student, have had a few relationships in the past but they always talked to me, never started any kind of interaction with any girl I was interested in.

So, after struggling with my own mind, I see this girl attending at the mall and decide to talk to her. Ask her about some clothes and then some bs questions: where is she from, does she have a bf (she says no btw). After this point my brain goes full retard and don't know what else to say.

I then invite her to grab some drinks (by this poin I'm super nervous because of anxiety I think) and she tells me she has a bf out of panicking. I think I fucked up by being so nervous.

I should add that she laughed about any dumb question I asked to her. I mean they really looked like genuine laughs, not just a smile. Oh and she tells me before I leave that no one asked her out during the day.

Anyway, I'm not sure if I should go back with a stronger and securer mindset or just go for another girl, I think at least I just got the balls to do it after so much time lol.
