<human>: So here's my situation summarized as quickly as possible. I asked her out about 4 weeks ago. She said 'No', and used the phrase I don't want to 'date at the moment' twice. Now I'm not totally blinded, and well aware this is an easy way of letting someone down, especially a friend.

However at the time of asking her out she was only about 3-4 months out of a 2 year relationship (mutual friends reckoned she still wasn't over it), and planned to go to university this month.
Since then we've seen each other twice I think, and she isn't going to university anymore (didn't get required grades). On both times stuff seemed pretty normal, which I assume is because neither of us want to make it awkward. I sort of think now though that maybe she isn't totally uninterested in me romantically.There are small signs anyway. Last time i saw her i got a hug goodbye for example, not crazy sexual i know but something that's not happened before.

As I'm typing this its beginning to dawn on me how I'm probably reading into nothing, so my question for you guys would be, "Is it sensible for me to ask her out again, or at least ask her if she's interested in a relationship?" I don't want too ruin a friendship, but i also don't want to sit here wondering if something could happen because I didn't get a firm 'No' from her. We get on really well, and i don't think it came down to looks or anything like that, so that's why i was a tiny bit surprised at being turned down the first time.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Asked out friend who said no due possibly to external circumstances, which have since changed, do i risk asking her out again?
