I've been a long-time lurker at this sub (I apologise if its the wrong flair) and recently I hit this girl up and she was initially receptive when i asked her out but 5 days before when I wanted to confirm the details, she responded feeling really bad that she couldn't make it because she had a ton of work to do, and that her deadline is the coming Monday. I just replied with a 'Maybe we could meet some other time' and got a 'For sure!' back and it's been silence ever since.

Question is, its Monday and should I ask her out again? The voice in my head tells me I should assume she isn't interested and just wanted an excuse to flake (and that if she was she would try to reschedule) and that I should give up but something in me wonders if I should man up and try to ask her out again.
