<human>: So, there's this girl that I currently have a crush on for a few months now. When she's had a few drinks she is always flirting with me (drinking age is 18 where I live btw). She has even texted me when drunk to flirt with me. One night a few we went out with two other friends and when we were alone she told me she's having a great time and wants to hangout more often. 

About a month ago now myself and a group of friends (including her) went to a club, where we ended up making out. She then asked me out to lunch the next day with her and our mutual friend. 

Now all this sounds like she's really into me. However, the next day we go out to lunch she claims that she can't remember anything from the night before because she got so drunk. I kinda assumed she said this because she didn't want to remember, I could be wrong. Also, when she's sober she doesn't really ever text me and she never flirts with me. This is giving me extremely mixed signals.

Now, normally at this stage I'd just ask her out and if she says no then so be it. I'd chalk all that up to her just being drunk. The problem is that I'm friends with her close-knit group of friends and I've already dated someone within group and it didn't end well. I'm afraid that if I ask her out and she says no then I might lose my friends because we can't hangout due to the fact that it would probably be awkward between myself and this girl.

So, I have a two part question. Do you think she's into me or just looking to have 'fun' when she's drunk? Also, whats the best way to ask her out to try not make things awkward between us and my friends?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Girl shows lots of interest in me when she's had a drink or two, but not when sober. Afraid of asking her out in case it damages relationship with myself and mutual friends.
