<human>: This past Sunday, I turned my friend down due to family pressures (though I didn't let her know at the time). It took a considerable amount of arguing with my parents in order to convince them to allow me to date this girl, but I think I've done it (for now, at least). They're not giving me date money, which sucks, but that's fair. Problem is, the girl is acting differently around me now (to be expected). We don't joke or talk as much as we used to, and it's harder to get a hold of her. How should I ask her out Reddit?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I rejected a girl (she doesn't know it's due to family pressure), but after a rather hard time, convincing my parents, it looks like I finally can date her! But how do I go about asking her out?
