Ugh, c'mon guys! There is literally no loss in a girl rejecting you ask her out -- dust yourself off an move on. You already didn't have her, so what's the net loss? Nothing.
There's a whole spotlight effect with being embarrassed that they'd talk behind your back, too: people don't actually give a damn. No one's going to notice you getting rejected, and if she talk to her close circle of friends about you, then so be it. It's a small circle that'll forget about it in a day.
Anyhow, an anecdote: last week I decided to ask out this really attractive redhead girl completely out of my league, and so we went to this Thai restaurant for dinner. It was a nice, we talked and it was overall relaxing. But shit didn't take off and yesterday she texts me essentially pulling the whole "let's stay friends bit." I'm 'kay with it, and I bet a bunch of her friends now know how boring I am, or something. Today, though, we talked normally without any awkwardness and had a fun time. I essentially didn't lose anything by asking this girl out.
